I trained for about 4 months for my university, but I had to quit as my grades began to slip. I took a 3 month break and now I want to get back into it. Are there any programs that I can follow to help me loss weight and condition my self for boxing when the season is up again? I have looked around, and only things I can find are stuff like p90x and insanity. I am 185lbs, and I want to go down to 160-165 by next boxing season (basically in about 8 months).
8 months are really long period, so its a good thing for you. search a forum little bit and i am sure you`ll find what will best suit you. one of my favorites is Aplins guide: http://complete-boxing-workout.blogspot.com/
I'm attempting to do the same right now after a break of years rather than months. I have no weight to lose though, so I'm just running, cycling, press ups, sit ups, pull ups, leg press and occasional rounds on various bags. Nothing major. I'll get myself fit by the general publics standards, and then coach can get me in proper shape.
Thanks for that. I'm going to read through it and try it out. That type of document was exactly what I was looking for.
So just read through the blog. In my case my cardio sucks. At the end it has a plan for the 8 weeks, but it looks like it says that I should only be working out like 2 days a week starting. Am I correct?
it was lowering your grades?! :? you started training at uni, so take it you were training max 2 hours a day? do you normally spend all you waking time studying? if so that is not healthy. a few hours of exercise a day should benefit your studying and life in general from the benefits that come from endorphins released after good workout! Sorry, not helpful at all! but just shocked to be honest.. bag if you got one. run 3-4 miles a few times a week, sometimes all out try to beat ya time, sometimes with sprints/HIIT all like said above! you quit because your grades begun to slip, you sure thats not just a poor excuse?
