Do you want to try a new sport? Then piloxing could be something for you. The fitness trend has this effect on the body.
- Piloxing is made up of the words "Pilates" and "Boxing".

Piloxing doesn't tell you anything? You are not alone in this. The fitness trend is particularly well-known in the USA and has been doing well there for several years. Piloxing combines the two words and sports "Pilates" and "Boxing", which are basically very different. Pilates strengthens the deep muscles and ideally the exercises should be carried out slowly and in a controlled manner. Boxing, on the other hand, is about speed and, last but not least, sweat flows freely.
Pilates and boxing: Piloxing as a hybrid workout really makes you sweat
Anyone who has already tried Pilates knows the positive effects on posture and abdominal muscles. Boxing, on the other hand, trains endurance and gets the circulation going . Piloxing combines both sports, which should have the following effects on the body:
- The Pilates elements ensure good posture, strong back and firm abdominal muscles. Above all, they train the deep muscles.
- The boxing units stimulate the circulation and improve endurance.
- Piloxing is said to burn up to 600 calories an hour - so it is ideal for people who want to lose a few pounds.
