Beginner getting into boxing

Wall sits.

 

Or you could listen to us and save money, we all can't be wrong!

 

dude find a gym in the area a real boxing gym that has actual competitors even if you have to drive a ways it will be worth if if your serious about competeing

 

5am - 4-5 mile run 5 times a week--- Dont do this. You are not a marathon runner.
And second, dont ever train alone or teach yourself cause youll end up with bad habits and bad fundamentals.
Get to the gym.

 

Maybe you can explain why you think you need to run so much?

If you're going to train in any sport you need to have a damn good reason for doing what you're doing. If you don't know what you're talking about I'd suggest you ask questions, take advice and learn instead of throwing out suggestions on what you think you should be doing (don't take that as an insult or a shot at you, just a suggestion to make you better).

 

Join a gym.

Ditch the you tube training.

'Nuff said

 

Too much running. Run 2-3 miles 4-5 times a week. You could do 6 or so rounds on a heavy bag. Jump rope for about 3 rounds. Don't forget to do abdominal workouts and such. Weight training is good, but not too heavy.

 

Right! Sparring is the key ingredient it's what differentiates boxing from Kung-fu:thumbsup

 

And dont listen to this kind of advice as well.

 

Have you thought about joining a gym?

(You'd need to find one with a wall though, for the wall sits..)

 

To learn, hopefully.

Obviously the best advice you can give whether you have access to a gym or not.

My reply in no way referred to my knowledge. Why you think I "know it all" I don't know :huh.

What I said, in so many words, was don't throw out what you think you know, ask questions and learn.

Pecho said not to do so much running. Instead of asking "why should I not run so much?" you just threw out another idea of how long you think you should run based on no knowledge whatsoever. Nothing really wrong with that, but you're far better off asking why and learning instead of throwing out random, baseless ideas.

Anyone can say "I'll run 5 miles 3 times a week" but is that really optimal for you and your current state? Looking at the end of your post, you don't really know why boxers run distance. Also, you won't be able to fully implement training techniques for yourself in the future if you don't learn the whys and hows of your training.

Again, not getting at you, just a suggestion.

BTW, weight training 6 times a week is most likely a bad idea for boxing. What is your routine?
