running 3 miles a day/5 times a week...

I agree with what some of the others have said about losing fat at first, then gaining muscle.

Now, there are people in this thread with much more knowledge on this subject than I have, but the first thing that popped into my head was, what if you didn't split your running? Does anyone know the possible weight-loss benefits for Illmatic if he does one 3-mile run as opposed to two 1.5 mile runs?

 

In that case it is a great workout for both strength and conditioning but has zero to do with boxing technique. Activities like hiting the heavybag, sparring could all be incorporated into the workout while replacing other exercises.



Im still trying to find the perfect workout for both. A workout that combines all while mainly focusing on strength and technique, and I figure the conditioning aspect will come with time.

 

Flimpuck - two 1.5 miles done at different times at a good intensity, is more beneficial for weight loss than a 3 mile jog is.

damian55 - That would involve less than daily boxing technique work. It all depends on your work capacity, time available, diet, rest, lifestyle, etc. If you are 100% dedicated to it, you'd make it a 6 day on, 1 off programme. Could be a conditioning day with intense circuits of exercises, day 2 boxing followed by sprints, strength on day 3, boxing and core on day 4, boxing on day 5 followed by sprints, day 6 boxing and core, day 7 off.
That's 1 full day and 2 sprint sessions for conditioning, 2 big core workouts (some core work would be done with the boxing), one strength workout, and 4 days boxing.
These split up days would be morning and afternoon for best results.
Worth a shot.

 

The original poster's goal is weight loss. He doesn't box anymore, he's just wanting to keep in shape and lose some weight.

 

Yeah thanks but I have a more complicated problem to add on to it. I do this Muay thai class and the daily training is very unpredictable. Some days we will kick the pads hard, other days knees, other days punches. Plus at the end of the day the instructer likes to press hard conditioning drills to really work out the class. Thats fine and all but I probably work out alot more than the average person in the class so I come close to overtraining alot. I wanna find a good boxing gym that just works on technique most with sparring so I can concentrate on power, strength outside of the class, cause with my current class it is very hard to keep on a weekly workout scheduele.
Not to talk your ear off.
