Fitness Boxing: Move and Box

The move&box® training involves perfect physical harmony, suppleness, movement accuracy, coordination, intensive breathing for optimal oxygen uptake and quick reactions - in short: it is all about personal well-being, one of the most important tasks of a leisure sport. All the moves and exercises are borrowed from boxing training. Elements from other sports like kickboxing, karate or even aerobics can easily be incorporated into the training so that it can be adapted within a class to any performance level or expectation. The class structure strictly follows sports-pedagogical guidelines and includes warm-up training, muscle stretching, technique and partner training as well as a relaxing cool down. Boxing is a sport that has always been treated with respect due to its component of athleticism. That is why a chapter is dedicated to the history of boxing up to the present day. The sport of boxing has a frequently misunderstood public image though, often represented as one-sided and only performance-related, this is why an explanation of its principal technical features is provided. The main body of the book features exercise guidelines for boxercise, which can be performed both by groups and by individuals.
