need routine plz help

It doesn't matter how you look or your physical condition, join a gym. If somebody has the time to be bothered by your appearance or condition they shouldn't be in a boxing gym.

 

Hello Shaks,

I am more or less in the same boat, but for different reasons, I am not big, but I am uncoordinated + out of shape and that causes me stress.

...but with the benefit of hindsight, it`s just because I am afraid of what people think of me.
I think it`s important to realize that it`s never between us and what other people think, it`s between us and what we think of ourselves.

Good luck! :good

 

That was my worry, but with the right boxing gym then people will be working too hard to notice anyone else and even if they do, it is likely because they are offering to help you!!

 

Shaks, I'll second what others have said. Join a gym and don't worry about what others think. That is all in your head and keeping you from getting where you seem to want to be. The weight will come off in due time if you are diligent in the workout. I work out at home now, but the last boxing gym I was going to had all shapes and sizes taking part. If you take the training seriously, you don't have time to notice how others are doing since they tend to keep the pace of the workout pretty intense.

Join, have fun and watch the pounds fall away.

 

You could go watch a few classes and pick up a few ideas, speak to the coach and ask him to. Also, learn to jump rope if you've never done it before or aren't too good.

 

Jumping rope is a great cardio exercise and it only cost a little to buy a decent rope. Also, get a couple of pairs of small hand weights, maybe 1 and 2 lb. each to hold on to when you shadow box. Start with the 1 lb. weights in each hand and throw punches, not hard, but fluid and that will help build up stamina in the arms.

Here's a little something that will help develop the forearm and wrist. Get a light weight (5lb) and tie a piece of 1/4"thick x 5 ft. long rope through the weight, on the other end, get a 1" dowel or even a piece of wooden broomstick about 18" long. Now, drill a hole in the center of the stick and slip the rope through it and tie the end in a knot. Now hold your arms straight out from your body parallel to the floor and use your wrists to turn the stick and wind the rope around it until the weight touches the stick, then reverse the winding until all the rope is let out. Do this slowly and not let it freewheel out of your hand.

Sit ups, crunches, leg raises, push-ups, dips can all be done with no equipment other than what is around your house.

 

You think this is good advice for somebody that doesn't know how to punch, let alone with additional weight?

 

If this is just bodyweight, that must take a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time!

Back when I did standing calf raises on a machine, even with 400+ lbs it still took awhile to reach failure. Really fit boxers (such as Pacquiao and Mayweather) could probably do bodyweight standing calf raises for hours if they had to.

 

Where in his post does he mention he doesn't know how to punch???? I'm assuming if he is taking MMA type training, he is getting some punching techniques thrown in during his sessions. Figuring he is punching some, the motion shouldn't be foreign to him.

I made it clear to not go all out trying to knock holes in the air---just fluid motions. As for the light weights, that can be worked up to if it is too difficult at first.

 

If it is burning your calf and shin to run, you may be running too much on the balls of your feet like a sprinter would. For distance, it is better to use a heel/toe motion with the heel striking the ground first and rolling off the toe through your stride. When I first started running for distance many years ago I had the same problem. My running buddy noticed I was on the balls of my feet too much and switching made all the difference in the world.
