Boxing classes are steadily rising in popularity, with everyone from major celebrities (including Michael B. Jordan of “Creed” fame) to Rumble Boxing regulars expressing their love of the sport. And there’s a reason it’s so well liked. Boxing is a full-body workout, requiring you to generate power from your upper and lower body while engaging your core. It’s also mentally consuming in the best way. Boxing workouts demand your full attention as you memorize and execute combinations of jabs, crosses, and hooks without losing your form. You can’t do that while ruminating on whatever’s topping your list of stressors at the moment, which makes boxing workouts especially freeing.
In-studio boxing classes are great if you have access to them; it’s always nice to be able to punch an actual bag and tap into the motivation that comes with working out with others. But if you don’t, or if you’re just looking for a quick at-home sweat session, you can try boxing workouts at home via these boxing videos on YouTube. The videos range from boxing-inspired workouts that will actually have you throwing hooks and jabs to workouts meant to support proper boxing technique (that don’t involve actual boxing). And we included a few instructional videos, led by seasoned veterans, that you can follow along with if you need to brush up on the basics of boxing. Whether your goal is to hone your technique, let off some stress, or work up a sweat, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for in one of these home boxing workout videos.
