How much do you train, and why do you train?

Lots.
I want to compete and be one of the best, look back in 15-20 years and be able to say I gave it my all, and I got something out of it, I showed what I am about, nobody can take that away from me, and I proved anything is possible.

 

Im the same, this week I'll have trained five times (and a weekend pad session with the wife making it six). But work demands may well see me at one session next week albeit thats never my intentions as I always plan to stick to my schedule.

However, I love training and hate when I cant (feel like a caged animal). I'd train every day if I could........ maybe I'm making up for lost time (having only taken up boxing), but the truth is I love punching and the movements associated with it.

 

1) I Box 2-3 times a week in the gym. Just bought a pushbike to add some CV. Probably go on 2 rides a week

2) Saw a photo of myself at the company xmas party (end of 2009) and was disgusted at what I saw. Coupled with lower back pains I decided I needed to do something. I weighed 18st 7 lbs. As it stands now, I weigh 16st on the dot with 1 more stone to go.

 

Well done on the weight loss Hysteria guy.

2-5 times per week as the schedule and body permit and... it is just fun!

 

Thanks mate

 

I do a set of bicep curls before breakfast. I do 20 crunches before bed. For the second part - I want to be a world champion.

 

I was boxing 3 nights a week for about 2 and a half hours, which is the best work out I've done in my life, on top of that I was going out 6 mile runs 2 or 3 times a week also.

I am 20 and would like to give amatuer a shot in the near future, butI do this generally because I dont want to turn into a fat ****.

I have recently broken my finger so I'm out of boxing for another 3 weeks, although since then I got bored and joined a weight lifting gym. Running so often has brought on shin splints which kill me, so now i'm at the gym every second night doing weights, and my rest day i do 20K on the bike machine.

Once my finger has healed, i'll be back boxing harder than ever, whilst going to the gym to get stronger.

 

..need to shed off 10 kilos of excess weight.

 

1. 3 times a week in the gym, but on 2 other morning I run and jump rope and all that jazz.

2. <3

 

I don't like getting hit

Seriously though i'm in it for the weight loss and the sparring, nothing more.
Having a blast doing what i'm doing not experienced enough to take it any further.

 

6 Days aweek
Do it to better my life.

 

Not training currently, but when I am it's 2-6 days per week, depending on injuries and work. Roadwork 3-4 times a week as well, though I was never consistent with it. Some weeks I'd run 5 days, others only 1 or 2.

And I do it because A. Looking pretty has never been enough motivation for me to take care of myself, and B. I feel like athletics/exercise/competition is one of the main...parts(?) of life, and boxing is the kind of sport I can compete in until I'm chill and old.
