If you are interested in testing your limits, boxing can be a great outlet. The training methods will help improve your cardio, coordination, and reflexes, as well as instilling self-discipline.
Fittingly named the “Sweet Science”, boxing is fundamentally about hitting your opponent without being hit.
But physical combat aside, simple training and preparation in the boxing gym will certainly get you in shape if fitness is what you are aiming for. So if you never tried boxing before, head down to one of these gyms and sign up for a session.
