Boxing and kickboxing are popular workouts that get your entire body moving.

It’s something the staff at 4M Fitness and MMA know about. QC Life’s Cheryl Brayboy was there to see the expert boxers show off what they can do with the bag and in the ring.

Of course, boxing is one of the oldest forms of high intensity interval training. Watch as the boxers switch between low intensity and high intensity during training and fights.

This will actually accelerate the metabolism. A boxing workout also has heart health and weight loss benefits.

Cheryl also learned the tricks of the trade, as one of the trainers showed her how to burn calories and accelerate the heart rate by punching a punching bag at a particular pace.
