Piloxing

Pilates and boxing—an unlikely pair? Not according to Viveca Jensen, the creator of the trending workout “Piloxing.” She combined the precision of Pilates with the power of boxing to develop a high-energy, full-body workout that’s now featured in many gym class schedules around the world.Pilates and boxing? Do they go together? Sure, said Viveca Jensen, the initiator of the new trend sport “Piloxing,” and created a sweat-inducing full-body workout that many gyms have now added to their class schedules.

Barefoot training to groovy music

Piloxing blends dynamic boxing moves with Pilates exercises and dance-inspired choreography—all set to energizing music. It’s a fun and effective way to burn up to 600 calories per hour. One unique aspect: it’s done barefoot or in special non-slip socks, allowing for better balance and control. To level up your arm workout, you can wear Piloxing gloves filled with 300-gram pellets, adding resistance to help tone and strengthen your upper body.

Strength and endurance phases

The boxing elements in Piloxing focus on building endurance, strength, and flexibility, while also demanding mental focus to master the fast-paced combinations. Meanwhile, the Pilates components target deep muscle groups, promoting core strength and healthy posture.

With its blend of powerful punches, squats, and jumps, Piloxing delivers a true full-body workout. And with consistent training, improvements in endurance, coordination, and flexibility can be seen in a surprisingly short time.

Try it out for yourself!
