Boxing is gaining popularity among fitness enthusiasts. Oleg Saitov, a two-time Olympic champion in boxing and head of the All-Russian people’s movement Healthy Fatherland, told socialbites.ca why this sport is in high demand.
Oleg Saitov suggested that many consider boxing as a good alternative to cardio training.
“I’ve been boxing my whole life, so I can say that this sport is the best cardio. I have something to compare: with a break in my sports career, I got a little carried away with strength training – barbell, barbell, kettlebell and much more. That’s when I was out of breath even after a light jog. That’s why it’s important to make time for cardio training if you want to have tone and stamina throughout the day. And boxing is the best solution for this. This is not a monotonous boring run on the track, but a dynamic interesting game,” he explained.
The athlete emphasized that boxing is effective in losing weight.
According to Oleg Saitov, another reason why fitness lovers choose boxing is the psychological factor.
“When you train with a pear, you can unleash all your negative emotions. And of course boxing is a martial art. Self-defense skills add self-confidence and give a sense of calm and security,” he added.
