Sometimes it comes to me. It may only last a minute or two and then it\u2019s gone as fast as it came to me. It\u2019s clarity. It\u2019s that feeling of stillness in my mind while my body is still moving. And for those moments, I have peace and everything else goes away. It\u2019s just me, my gloves and the bag. It\u2019s why I box. It\u2019s what I strive for. The thumping of my gloves colliding with the bag drowns out all of the noise inside my head and calms the chaos around me and nothing else matters.<\/p>\n
The truth is \u2014 I needed boxing. When I slipped my hands into my first pair of gloves, it just felt right. I found solace in the gym. It\u2019s my place to forget about everywhere I\u2019ve been and everything I\u2019ve been through. Now I work as a personal trainer with the hopes that I can help others find clarity. I teach my clients how to reach their goals using techniques I have applied throughout my whole life. The consistency of practice and routine and building muscle memories can bring you peace.<\/p>\n
In addition to relieving stress, my boxing workouts began toning my body —and I loved the results.<\/p>\n
Boxing can burn up to 1,000 calories in one hour and help build endurance for other athletic activities like running and high-intensity training. As muscle strength increases, the body begins to tone up and become defined.<\/p>\n
A great boxing workout can be done in a group, with a friend or a trainer. I\u2019m working each and every day to help others realize how amazing this fitness routine is and how it can change lives, because it surely changed mine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
