MFC Foundation introduces Boxercise classes
The MFC Foundation of Middlesbrough Football Club is always looking for programmes providing opportunities to raise aspirations and improve the life chances of people across their local Teesside communities. The health and wellbeing of these communities is always at the forefront of minds at the MFC Foundation. This EFDN member has a large selection of different clubs, classes and education opportunities for anyone who may be struggling with their health, or weight for any reason.
One of the new classes the MFC Foundation introduced to help tackle this is weekly sessions of Boxercise exercise classes, which work to not only help people lose weight but also to tone up.
Boxercise is an exercise class based on the training concepts boxers use to keep fit. Classes can take a variety of formats but a typical one may involve shadow-boxing, skipping, hitting pads, kicking punchbags, press-ups, shuttle-runs and sit-ups.
The classes consist of a number of HIIT (high-intensity interval training) circuit workouts, implementing boxing training skills to help lose weight in fun but effective ways. There’s a number of different workouts to ensure you’re heart will know it’s had a workout and you’ll have worked up a sweat by the end of the session. If you’re looking to shift some of that lockdown weight, or just get moving and feel a bit healthier, this might be the class for you.
