This morning’s Triple C Boxing Fitness personal training session focused on that punch: the overhand right. It’s a classic boxing shot, often used to come over the top of a guard or catch someone as they move in. In a fitness session, though, the aim isn’t to hurt anyone. The aim is to learn clean movement, build confidence, burn energy, and enjoy focused training without getting hit.

Body shots change the whole feel of a boxing session. The stance drops. The legs work harder. The core has to brace. The punch has to travel from the floor, not just from the shoulder. That makes them a great fit for a non-sparring class built around skill, movement, and conditioning.

Learning new boxing techniques often feels more physically demanding than expected. Early this morning, during the fifth lesson of a 10-hour Triple C Fitness Boxing course, I introduced my client to the left hook. What seemed like a “technical” move quickly turned into a full-body workout. This experience highlights how boxing for fitness not only sharpens skills but also challenges muscles in new ways.
