702 and Cape Talk’s Africa Melane speaks with Nina Tibet of Urban Warrior Boxing.
Listen below:
Boxing for fitness is a great full-body workout.
It is an effective way to burn calories, boost your metabolism, enhance your reflexes, and improve focus.
“It is completely beginner-friendly. You’re not stepping into a ring to fight someone, you are using the techniques and training style from boxing to build your strength, cardio, coordination and confidence.”
– Nina Tibet, Urban Warrior Boxing
A typical session at Urban Warrior begins with a light warm-up, followed by a session specifically tailored to your fitness level.
It includes boxing combinations, bag work, foot work, strength or cardio circuits, and core conditioning.
“You are not just following the crowd, you are being coached to grow.”
– Nina Tibet, Urban Warrior Boxing
