    I think your post was a great addition to my previous post. It doesn't look like we differ from opinion at all.

    I guess, Achilles was correct, on his assesment that we are basically saying the same, all I am saying that it required far more dedication to be a body puncher, since the conditioning is different since you target different muscle area for power and flexibility on your muscle memory

    Create a healthy diet for yourself and do alot of cardiovascular excercises. Like the others said, run, and run some more. The key is to burn more calories than you're consuming in a day, while still making sure your body is getting the right amount of vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates etc. and you're not starving yourself.

    Nothing in being fat..the point is that you have recognized it and you want to do something about...that's the most important step...now...

    Put yourself on a realistic routine:

    1. First two weeks, walk for 30 to 45 minutes at regular pace for the first week, and a brisk pace the second week

    2. Start changing your diet slowly, cutting on the grease, deep fried, etc, start getting your salads together, you can do dressings, just moderatly...if you are eating meet, drain the fat regularly and cut the starches and carbs,let your body start burning fat after the carbs runs out...

    3. 3rd Week start jogging the same distance you were walking, if you get tire stop and keep walking the important thing is to complete the track that you set yourself when walking the previous 2 weeks..

    4. By the 4 weeks you should be able to complete the track jogging at a light to moderate jogging pace...

    5. Start excersicing in the 5 week regulary 3 times a week, with easy seat-ups and calistecnic excersices...

    Post after you compete this first stage...

    what's your guys' opinion on combining strength and condition exercices? would you prefer a schedule with running (day1) and squats (day2) and day 3 for resting or better do it vice versa, day1 squats and running on the second. from my personal experience i always felt better the first way, but then again i always wonder if it's not just subjective. reduced to one sentence the question is:
    does roadwork on day 2 (may it be in intervals or regular running) harm the regeneration process of squats on day 1, especially when you're running in the morning while doing the squats in the evening 12 hours before, or do you just lack a bit of power running while your legs are still recovering well?

    That;s a such a hard question to answer...since it depends on the metabolism of the boxer..some respond well others not so well...

    Depends the target areas you do each day, if you split your workout on muscel groups each day, and take the correct supplements for muscle recovery and ahve a balanced diet..you can workout 6 mdays straight, I do it myself ..at 49...

    Ive got a friend who wants to come to my gym. Only problem is hes mega unfit and overweight. Iv told him to get running and skipping and dont worry bout anything else at the mo. Is that the right thing to tell him. I know boxing can get you fit but im already reasonably fit and i can only just keep up and i dont want him to go and be put off if hes really unfit compared to everyone else. Am i telling him the right thing or should i just say come? He said hed work on running and skippin for the next couple of weeks , i said its probably better for the next couple months! lol. The guys at the gym are all really great guys none of them take the **** , bit of banter and that but generally nice maybe he should just come now what you think?
