Anyone ever have "one of those days"?

I get like that sometimes too, but usually I dont get too tired. Could be you need some more vitamins/supplements, could be anything and nothing but keep working through it and dont give up.

 

I started workouts / boxing type workouts about 3 months ago too and its happend to me a couple times aswell. My meals are pretty well balanced but dont know about you but i think its the fruit side which is lacking and i think its causing everyso often to burn out a bit. But also i think when youre relatively new it does happen. My friend who does alot of martial arts and rugby and christ loadsa sports lol he said it used to happen to him but he never gets fatigue anymore. Important thing is not to give up altogether so you had a bad day so what just get back into it next day!:thumbsup

 

Maybe try a multi vitamin. Are you drinking enough water? If not, it can make you feel run down.

 

I have 'one of those days' every day.

 

are you eating enuff you prob just need to eat more or sleep more

 

its called working your ass off in the gym keep it up, use that time there when you get dog tired to dig deep and keep going that is what will make a difference when you spar and fight keep up the good work and do not be affriad to push yourself to the limit:good

 

Have you boxed before? if not than how would you know?

 

Make sure you eat enough, about 5 or 6 small meals a day two snacks in between, remember if your doing all of your road work and are in the gym every day, you are buring that food you do eat so if your not eating enough your body will burn out becuase it has no fuel to keep it going.

 

as I said you want to have 5-6 small meals with snacks inbetween here is a diet I have my kid on. (im about to charge you all for my **** Yo!)

1) Eat every 2-3 hours. You don’t need to eat a full meal every 2-3 hours but you do need to eat 6-8 meals and snacks in order to rev up the metabolism.
2) Ingest complete, lean protein each time you eat. Are you eating something that is an animal or comes from an animal – every time you feed yourself? If not, make the change to improve metabolism and body comp.
3) Ingest vegetables every time you eat. That’s right, every time you eat (every 2-3 hours), in addition to a complete, lean protein source, you need to eat vegetables. You can toss in a piece of fruit here and there as well. But don’t skip the veggies.
4) If want to eat a carbohydrate that’s not a fruit or a vegetable (this includes things like sugars, sweets, rice, pasta, potatoes, quinoa, etc), you can – but you’ll need to save it for breakfast - or until after you’ve exercised.
5) Ditch the calorie containing drinks (including fruit juice). In fact, all of your drinks should come from non-calorie containing beverages. Fruit juice, alcoholic drinks, and sodas – these are all to be removed or minimized. Your absolute best choices are water and green tea.
6) Focus on whole foods. Most of your dietary intake should come from whole foods. There are a few times where supplement drinks and shakes are useful. But most of the time, you’ll do best with whole, largely unprocessed foods.
7) Have 10% foods. 6 meals per day - 7 days a week is 42 meals. That means you need to be on track 38 times, but can have a cheat 4 times. We'll cut this back closer to the fight.

 

I started boxing as a workout recently also and went through the same thing. However, from lots of weight training in the past, one thing I've learned is to push through that point.

Your body will want to do what is comfortable for it and it'll give you signs of protest as such. You'll have to force it above those plateau's.
