Without knowing exactly what was/is wrong with you, it is difficult to prescribe a solution. Some general things which may help would be plenty of skipping, stretching, mobility drills, yoga, gpp drills etc. Aside from these points, if the problems that you speak of are a hangover from your accident, you could really do with being supervised by someone who knows their stuff, and knows the history of your injuries.
What bodi said makes sense. Also, it's been 5 years since you've been boxing, reversibility did its job so you'll basically have to start from scratch again when it comes to conditioning. Don't let it frustrate you and keep working on it.
thanks ye my accident was breaking my cheekbone and the eye muscles got caught in it damaging it and in one of the ops after it i had som nerve damage caused which didnt help maybe its just rust ill have to work off
I also recently resumed training after 3 years of rest and recovery. Bodi is right. Talk to your trainers and/or a medical professional who is familiar with your condition and able to highlight areas that need further treatment or improvement. E.g. I had my pilates instructor, educated in kinesiology, stretch and restore mobility to my previously injured back. Don't rush. I signed up at a conditioning gym over a month prior to joining a boxing gym. This way I had plenty of time and peace of mind to focus on getting back in shape. Had I not done so, I doubt I would be making the same progress at my boxing gym now. There are many exercises which improve endurance and mobility. Having trained before, you must know the importance of combining those with whole body coordination. Skipping helps. So does the 'tennis ball drill'. To bring my feet up to speed with my hands, my coach made me dribble with alternate hands an old, barely bouncing tennis ball around the ring for increasing lengths of time, while maintaining my lower body boxing stance and moving as boxers do. It looked silly. It certainly made us all laugh. But, it worked. I was a lot more relaxed and lighter on my feet after that. (If dribbling a tennis ball is too easy, substitute with smaller, potentially more irritating ball.)
you may have somethine else wrong. you can test your mobility, maybe start witha mile walk, work up to a two mile walk, then a 5 mile walk. If you feel confertable doing that, start with a 2 mile run and switch back and forth between the 2 mile job and sprints.
