    For the first time in years.

    I'm getting back into boxing and will be going back to my boxing gym on Monday, I trained at home and have woken up feeling like I've been hit by a train. Arms, shoulders, upper body aching, not injured just aching.

    Can I train again today or is it better to wait until they're not aching again? Don't want to risk an injury.

    Thanks. :good

    Mate,I haven't been able to train for more than five or six weeks at a time because of health problems,so I always seem to be starting over,but I would go for no more than three times a week,maybe even twice at the minute.
    If I do an upper body weights workout one day,I can go on the bag next day and after a round,I can't even throw a proper jab.Trial and error mate,do what feels right and feel your way back in.
    And try and get a good stretch afterwards.It won't stop the pain but it will reduce it.
    Good luck,and remember The Cobra.:good

    Nice one.

    I'll just take it slowly until it becomes comfortable again, just do a bit of shadowboxing and skipping today.

    All hail the cobra.

    go do some alternative training like skipping, running and just do maybe 30 mins - 60mins of shadow boxing to improve your technique

    I'd go for a swim or do a bit of shadow/light jogging. Better to do a little than nothing at all i'd say. :good

    Hadn't been in a boxing gym myself for about 1.5 years due to life getting in the way, went again a few weeks ago and have been training twice a week since then (plus of course cycling, since I live in the Netherlands). My condition is already improving rapidly, at first I felt like puking. I'm picking up the pace in a few weeks time, when work slows down.
