Anyone got any advice on getting back into the boxing training I trained for 10 years and fought as an amature for 6 years from i was about 7 till 17 that was 6 years ago im outa the game now but I always loved boxing im now unfit about 2 stone over the weight I want to be ( bad i know lol) so I wana start traning again not to fight just to get fit but every time it gets time to go till the gym I say fuk it ill go tomarrow but tomarrow never comes lol.
I work 8 hrs a day so I be pretty tired when I get home but thats no excuse I want to get back into shape I used to love training but now going down is like a chore any ideas on how to get back into the routine
As certain sportswear companys logo says 'Just Do It'
That is the easy answer.
However we are all guilty of being in your situation at sometime in our lives, a couple of strategies are:
You could agree meet someone at the gym, peer pressure can be strong motivator. rather than committing to a full boxing gym workout.
Use your amateur experience, do a bit of roadwork, skipping etc, watch your diet and you will lose weight, feel fitter and quite possibly motivate you, to get back to gym training, basically any extra exercise is going to make big difference to you.
I hated every minute of training, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion."

It all comes down to is how bad you want it, nobody nor no energy drink is gonna give you the motivation to push your self only you can do that, if need be take a nap after work then go at it, or just dont go home and just work out after work, also some people enjoy training before going to work this may work as you'll be working out after resting a full night... eat multiple vitamin at night so it dissolves as you sleep ,helped out by a cup of strong coffee and star burning man......unch:I'm 53 and I really push myself...
Mornings wouldn't suit me I'm just back from my local
Boxing gym now I enjoyed it so hopefully it doesn't take long for me to get back in the routine and start seeing the benefits lol thanks for the advice
Ive just been back at boxing a week now ive been running 2 miles 3 times a week and my knees are killing me when I bend my leg any advice on getting rid of the pains and stop it from happening in the future
For being fit you need to take two basic steps.Have a look on what you eat and your exercise plan.If you are not really good at exercising you should go for a walk everyday for at least 30 minutes.
I'm pretty much in same boat as you and we have a saying painted on our gym wall that says something like " if it is some thing you want you will find a way if not you will find an excuse."
Just do it man! There are a lot of things out there that could motivate. Well, you become what you believe. If you always think that u can, then that'll happen. No doubot about it. LAW OF ATTRACTION. By the way are you a fan of both fighters: Mayweather vs Guerrero Live Stream
