How to get shapely legs?

Why strengthen your legs?

The leg muscles, from the buttocks to the calves to the thighs, make up the largest muscle group in the body. Muscular, or at least toned, legs help strengthen the muscles of the upper body and back, and therefore better body balance. Speaking of your back, strengthening your legs is also a good way to prevent back pain.

You want to do sport to lose weight ? So don't neglect your legs! The thigh is one of the parts of the body where fat tends to be stored, especially in women. The more you strengthen your legs, the more energy you use to move and thus, the more calories you burn. That said, a balanced diet remains essential to lose weight!

Boxing and its derivatives

Strengthen your legs with boxing

Boxing allows you to strengthen all parts of the body, in addition to working on cardio. When we think of boxing, arm movements immediately come to mind: jab, cross, hook, cross, BIM. What we less imagine is that the leg muscles are also used with jumps, travel speeds and kicks. Strengthening your legs allows you to improve your explosiveness in boxing

  • The glutes: these large and powerful muscles help maintain the pelvis and provide mobility to the thighs at each footwork.
  • The quadriceps and hamstrings (at the front and back of the thighs) are particularly stressed during each leg flexion.
  • The calf muscles promote extension of the foot on the leg.

The concept of the Boxing Circle

A workout with bootcamp and boxing without combat, it's hard to get more complete! Each session of the Boxing Circle is designed to work the body as a whole, clear your head and exert yourself to the max.
