I never considered boxing a great cardio workout until last year. I’m really glad I started practicing simple boxing. My body feels amazing afterward!

To any complex trauma survivors struggling with nervous system regulation, feeling tired, feeling weak, feeling depleted… please know that it is 100% possible to restore these things. I believe in you! ♡

Daily ab training is not necessary. For optimal results, it’s recommended to train your abs two or three times per week. Don’t overwork yourself!

Boxing is one of the best cardio workouts for both emotional and physical fitness! It is a full-body workout in the form of high-intensity interval training. While you can use light weights, even just your body weight is enough to reap the benefits of boxing.

Growing up as a dancer, I developed stronger legs compared to my arms, which became the weaker link. To address this, I have been focusing on building my arm strength. I don’t lift heavy weights; instead, I use smaller weights—10 lbs, 15 lbs, and 20 lbs—for toning purposes. This is from my 5am group tone class :)

When it comes to cardio, it’s not always necessary to go super intense and fast. Starting with a slow, simple warm-up to get the heart rate going offers great benefits!

These boxing exercises are great for releasing emotions stored in the body!

A few mornings each week, I participate in a 5am group workout focused on strengthening and toning. It’s incredibly motivating to complete it this early in the day!
