Result of your expenditures
Beware, exercise alone is not enough to lose weight!
Exercising helps to burn calories, shape your figure by gaining muscle mass, and increase the basal metabolic rate (calories burned at rest). Thus, exercise has a significant long-term impact on weight control and better health. However, to lose 1 kg of fat, you need to burn 7700 kcal, which represents hours of running.
So what is the right solution?
Exercise and daily activity are guarantees for controlling and maintaining weight in the long term, but as any athlete will tell you, 30% is about moving and 70% is about what's on your plate. Weight loss must therefore be a mix of expenditures (essential) and a diet that does not exceed your needs.

Boxing: How many times per week and for how long should we box to lose weight?
Find out more about boxing for weight loss!
While regular physical activity combined with a healthy diet can help you slim and tone your body, some disciplines are more effective than others at helping you lose weight. What about boxing and its caloric expenditure? How many times should we box to lose weight and see results? Here are some answers.
Calories burned with boxing!
Because of its intensity, boxing requires constant effort, which boosts cardiovascular activity and helps you burn a maximum number of calories. With more than 300 calories per 30 minutes of practice, boxing is as good an exercise as aikido, and 3 times better than surfing. The muscular development it generates ensures the afterburn effect, which means you burn calories after the effort. Combined with a healthy diet, regular boxing practice will help you lose weight and tone your body.
What is the metabolic equivalence of boxing?
The metabolic equivalent of a physical activity is a statistical unit(MET Metabolic Equivalent of Task) which expresses the ratio between the energy expenditure of a physical activity during exercise and the energy expenditure of an individual at rest. Moderate-intensity boxing, for example, is a high-intensity activity with a MET value of 9, which means that it burns 9 times more energy than at rest, in the same way as ice hockey or mountain biking
