I just joined a new gym and they have a room devoted for boxing, with gloves and bags and everything. I've never boxed before, but read that its a really good workout. Has anyone incorporated boxing into their routine?
I'm not sure if I would consider it HIIT or what, but it seems like it would be a great way to incorporate a cardio element into an upper body workout, but I don't know where to begin.
Thoughts/comments/feedback?
Yes
Just dont get knocked out
Its rigorous enough to be a good endurance workout yet complex enough to not get boring if you train footwork, headmovement , etc. if you have a decent sparring partner even better
Depends on what training regime you did at box.
I used to do around 1hr and a half of combined rope, bags, etc. I was left completely exhausted no way to lift a weight after that

Will you have a trainer and regular sparring? If the answer is no its a waste of time.

Martial arts is best cardio.
It is almost entirely aerobic, so dont call it HIIT

I train Muay Thai (kickboxing with elbows and knees) and it's awesome cardio. Although you need a trainer, somebody to teach you how to do things right and to hold pads for you and even spar with you. If you do it alone or try and learn from Youtube or some shit you're gonna have a bad time.

Muay Thai is for chinks and faggots

this.
also boxing is all you need if done right. go ask the head trainer about it. Tell him exactly what you told us. then reap the 100 million dollar fights.

so do people fight until one of them is knocked out? how often do they just give up instead? doesn't seem that fun imo.
