With aquaboxing, <\/span>boxing in water is possible<\/b> ! All you have to do is put on foam boxing gloves made for aquaboxing and the class can begin.<\/span><\/p>

Aquaboxing is a <\/span>variation of aquagym and body combat<\/b> where you perform movements inspired by combat sports while being immersed up to your shoulders.<\/span><\/p>

This water sport is accessible<\/span> to everybody<\/b> and perfect for gently toning up while taking care of your cardiovascular system.<\/span><\/p>

Aquaboxing: what is it?<\/b><\/h2>

Aquaboxing, also called <\/span>aquapunching<\/b> Or <\/span>aquatic boxing<\/b>, is a sport that <\/span>is practiced in water and is inspired by combat sports<\/b> (boxing, karate, etc.).<\/span><\/p>

Without contact, a bit like shadow boxing, <\/span>you box against the water of a swimming pool or pond<\/b>. You are then immersed up to your shoulders or waist.<\/span><\/p>

The resistance of the water requires more effort from your body to carry out the movements, <\/span>so you burn a lot of calories<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

To practice aquaboxing, you can go to a fitness center, an aquatic center or a municipal swimming pool.<\/span><\/p>

How it works ?<\/b><\/h3>

With aquaboxing you achieve <\/span>series of movements and displacements<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

You send <\/span>kicking<\/b>, of the <\/span>punches<\/b>, all in <\/span>jumping<\/b> and in <\/span>moving<\/b>. All blows are allowed to knock out the water: feet, fists, elbows, knees.<\/span><\/p>

To do aquaboxing, you only need your <\/span>swimsuit<\/b> and of <\/span>foam boxing gloves<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

These boxing gloves are loaned to you, but you can easily buy your own. It is also common to swap gloves for <\/span>foam dumbbells<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

Aquaboxing uses your whole body<\/b>. Whether it's legs, abs or even shoulders. All your muscles are put to work.<\/span><\/p>

Coaches are there to give you <\/span>simple movements<\/b> to be continued. Take your pace and mimic their gestures.<\/span><\/p>

The only challenge of aquaboxing is to succeed in repeating all the series of the session.<\/span><\/p>

Aquaboxing: how does a session go?<\/b><\/h2>

An aquaboxing session <\/span>lasts on average 45 minutes<\/b>. It may seem short, but you will have plenty of time to work out!<\/span><\/p>

The aquaboxing sessions are done in the form of a <\/span>collective lesson<\/b> in <\/span>music<\/b> And <\/span>guided by a coach<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

First of all, we warm up<\/b><\/h3>

You start, as always, by warming up. Out of the water and in the water, you make different movements that allow you to <\/span>prepare your joints and muscles<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

On the menu: knee raises, heels-buttocks, arm movements, etc.<\/span><\/p>

The technical phase<\/b><\/h3>

Once the warm-up is complete, you will begin to see the <\/span>different aquaboxing movements<\/b> : punches, kicks, knee strikes, etc.<\/span><\/p>

Then, the sequences begin! Let yourself be carried away by the music and follow the coach's movements: <\/span>hooks<\/b>, <\/span>squats<\/b>, <\/span>uppercuts<\/b>, <\/span>kicks<\/b>, etc.<\/span><\/p>

The faster you do the movements, the more complicated the water resistance will make your task. So, to burn as many calories as possible, let go!<\/span><\/p>

Cool down and stretch<\/b><\/h3>

Once you have finished all the sequences, <\/span>you finish with gentler movements<\/b>. This allows you to lower your heart rate and finish the session in complete peace.<\/span><\/p>

And to finish in style, you take <\/span>a few minutes to stretch<\/b> before returning to the locker room.<\/span><\/p>

How to do aquaboxing at home?<\/b><\/h3>

If you have a swimming pool at home you can totally do aquaboxing on your own!<\/span><\/p>

To do aquaboxing at home, <\/span>you can easily find courses on YouTube<\/b>. You will just have to follow the movements of the video.<\/span><\/p>

And if you really like to do everything yourself, <\/span>mix different boxing moves with exercises<\/b> like the <\/span>squats<\/b>, of the <\/span>scissors<\/b>, etc.<\/span><\/p>

Perform several sequences by varying the exercises to create your own aquaboxing session!<\/span><\/p>
