Think like a fighter, Move like a fighter, and Hit like a fighter no matter your age! Golden Glove boxing is much like the ever-popular small-group training Guard Up program, but with a niche specific to those who enjoy AOA classes. Reap the many benefits of hitting on the heavy bag (with wraps and boxing gloves, of course) including improved cardiovascular fitness, significant improvement in cognitive functioning as the workout is both physically and mentally challenging, and improved muscle tone, especially for the upper body. Balance and stability drills will be incorporated for a complete workout. Leave feeling a huge sense of accomplishment each and every week while leaving feelings of stress and anxiety on the bag. It’s a “golden” opportunity for the Active Older Adult!
