Kickfit Boxing is a whole body exercise that engages the upper core . This is important to know in today’s technological society where we sit for prolonged hours at a desk or in front of a computer. Lack of movement weakens the entire subscapular region. This translates into neck and back problems as the muscles supporting the head get weaker. Since the head maintains its weight, people experience headaches and back pain.

Boxing is not only a great way to get in shape but also phenomenal at retaining your youth, vitality and flexibility because of the amount of dynamic movement it entails. Just look at Will Smith when he trained to represent Muhammed Ali, Sylvester Stallone for the movie Rocky, and Hillary Swank in
Million Dollar Baby. These people are actors following a boxing regime and the results speak for themselves.
