i found this, i was already going the gym a year or so though first before a mate came along. At first it was great. But after a while i knew it wasnt going to last he moaned about everything. I remember once sparring and it was a fairly rough session, and he was still with the beginners doing pads and drills. He then complained to me that he was with a really big lad who was hitting him as hard as possible. To which my reply was well you should just be practicing and learning but if hes being a **** give him a dig back! And then he started telling all our other mates he was a boxer and how you throw certain punches! Not a success story lol :twisted:
I finish work at 6 pm every day, I get home at about 7 pm and still go for my training session and come home at about 8:30. I love the sport and I love workout, everyday I tell myself to push it and be better because I want to be better in the art of boxing. I have changes in me physically and mentally which motivate me even moe to follow my workout schedule religiously. You need to just not think and get up and go, after work or on a week-end..just go..don't think too much. Start by doing little and gradually increase.
Reading this thread is killing me. I'm currently out of boxing for another 2 and a half weeks due to a broken finger that needs resting. I have always been an athlete in running and football and generally very fit, but was very interested in boxing - just no gym specific to it around. Eventually one has opened up and I started training, I work in a office mon-fri 8-5, and boxing starts at 6pm 3 times a week. When i joined i was rushing down the road to get there as its all i wanted to do. Could barely move after it but man its great. Then i broke my finger and got told to leave boxing for 6 weeks which has been torture. Since then I joined a heavy gym where im getting back into weights again but im literally counting down the seconds to go back to boxing. Anyways, as people say - you can only motivate yourself. Just go out and do it, dont spend hours thinking about doing it.
