Does Peloton Have Any Boxing Classes?

Yes. At the end of last year, the “Get Hooked” program was introduced to the public, marking a completely new journey for Peloton. From then on, Peloton did not stop attempting to expand its Boxing workout collection.

Generally, most of the Peloton Boxing sessions take place for 20 to 30 minutes. These classes integrate high-intensity cardio moves, stretching, and core training. Thus, they are some of the most effective Peloton classes for losing weight and gaining strength.

What Benefits Can You Gain from Peloton Boxing Classes?

Peloton Boxing sessions are not only beneficial for your physical health but also your mental well-being. Practicing the sport helps you:

• Get fit

According to Cheema et al. (2015), those who practice boxing have a lower body fat rate and a greater amount of calories consumed.

• Foster full-body strength

Dunn et al. (2022) claimed that both the lower body and the core play significant roles in the punching movement, meaning your whole body needs to be involved.

• Ease stress

As Leahy et al. (2020)noticed, Boxing cathartically eliminates stress and mood enhancements in those who practice this combat sport.

Averagely, every 10 minutes in a shadowboxing class consists of two rounds. They mainly target the core abs and the upper body with such parts as shoulders, biceps, and so on.

Three Basic Moves in Peloton Boxing

1. Stance

Tilt your dominant hand and foot back from your target to strike your opponent with more strength and speed. Make sure that your feet are shoulder-width apart from each other and that your weight is primarily distributed on your non-dominant leg.

Next, gently bend your knees and elevate your back heel. If you are certain that a little push cannot make you fall, then your stance is good enough.

2. Jab

As you now know what a boxing stance is, start jabbing by standing in your stance. After that, throw a punch with the hand on the same side as your non-dominant leg. 

While jabbing, hold your hand in a solid fist with the thumb on top, completely spread your arm forward, and rotate your palm to face the ground. Next, when done, pull your arm back and keep your fist by your face.

3. Defense

Boxing does not revolve around conquering all the time. It is also about defending and recharging.

With a rigid stance, you can avoid punches by

• Ducking: Squatting and jumping back up
• Slipping: Swinging to one side, then to the other
• Rolling: Bowing your knees and rising up again while shaping your body into a U-shape

Throughout all these three moves, always maintain your fists near your jaw.

What Accessories Do You Need for Boxing Classes?

Though the Peloton Boxing category does not specifically demand any equipment, you may still need these to ensure your safety while practicing.

• Mat
• Flat sneakers
• Sports bra

FAQs

1. Is boxing better than the gym?

The answer is: Neither of them is better than the other.

The answer is: YES.

Thanks to its high intensity and fast pace, boxing effectively eliminates your visceral fat. Especially, jabs and crosses require you to continuously twist your core, leaving your abs leaner and leaner.

3. Can I practice boxing every day?

The answer is: YES.

It is totally fine that you carry out this activity daily. Yet, you still need to know how your body is feeling – is it feeling stronger or more exhausted? Or you can stack boxing with some other low-intensity workouts to ensure your health in the best way.
