Boxercise

Boxercise is a type of workout that is based on the sport of boxing. It is a fun and exciting way to exercise and get fit!

Imagine putting on a pair of special gloves that are big and bouncy and wearing them on your hands like puppets. These gloves are very soft and squishy, so you can't hurt yourself or your playmate.

Now, let’s pretend we are in a ring, and we are throwing punches at each other with our bouncy gloves. We punch the gloves, and they go “boing, boing, boing,” which is fun and funny.

Boxercise is when adults get together to do this same kind of pretend boxing, but instead of using real punches, they use special exercise moves that are like boxing punches. They also add in some ducking, dodging, and blocks, which are all part of the fun!

But wait, there’s more! Boxercise also includes other exercises, like jumping jacks, lunges, and squats, which can help you get stronger and fitter! So, you get to have lots of fun while getting healthier at the same time!
