Boxing can help a person build strength in the arms, legs and abdominal region. The training involved in becoming a competent boxer includes cardiovascular work--such as running, jump rope, jabbing and stair-climbing--watching one's diet, and building--then toning--muscle through weight-lifting and strength-bearing exercises. Because it is a sport that requires total body fitness, those who pursue it often lose weight during the training process. Since all weight loss hinges on two factors--reduced calorie consumption and increased physical activity--boxing is an excellent way to lose weight.
Count Your Calories
The first rule of weight loss is calorie reduction. You can't reduce your calories until you know how many you are already consuming, so start counting everything you put into your mouth--food and drink, including the protein shakes you're consuming to build muscle mass as a boxer. After a week or so of counting, cut your daily intake by 500 calories to burn one pound of body weight per week.
Create a Cardio Routine
Regular, prolonged exercise is the second secret to successful weight loss. Do 45 to 60 minutes a day of jabs, hooks and punches on the bag at the gym or in the ring with an opponent count as exercise. Do the stairs, laps and jump rope activities you or your trainer will have you completing. Time your workouts and make sure you sweat all the way through them.
Increase Muscle Content
Another way to loose way boxing is by building muscle so that you reduce the amount of your body weight from fat and increase it from muscle. Muscle helps you burn fat, even when you're not working out so all those reps in the gym and exercises with the medicine ball will help you fly around the ring faster and step on the scale lighter.
