Right, ive deleted all of my previous posts in this log and im starting fresh. My goal is the same, i want to lose 2 stones (im currently 92kg). Im starting a boxing club at the beginning of next year and i want to be in shape so that that part of things is already taken care of and i can just concentrate on boxing. When i start the club i will be a few months away from turning 30, but regardless of this, i have every intention of grabbing it by the horns and doing as much in boxing as i can. The training i will be doing over the next few months will be mainly bodyweight exercises and running (HIIT and normal).
Welcome to the log section, and good luck with your goals. Any chance you could keep track in kgs? Meh, stones, isn’t that kinda like measuring height in yards? ![]()
It’ been sorta slow in here lately, but I know lots are lurking, so chances are if you have questions someone will pipe in eventually, and again good luck. ![]()
Thanks mate, ive got a good feeling about this. Ive been training on and off over the last few months and im starting to get really into it again. Haha yeah ok man i see what your saying, so i guess i weigh around 90kg at the moment.
Thanks again dude.![]()

pavlikfan, while I think it is a good idea to run distance as losing weight is a part of your goal, I would also consider adding in some HIIT running. That being sprints of one form or another. Not only will it break up the monotony, but it will help access you anerobic system also and promote better cardio faster.
Thanks youngblood, i took your advice and added HIIT to my running today and found it a better and more fun way to do it. Basically what i did was sprint flat out for around 10 seconds, slow back down to normal jogging, then when i got my breathing back to normal i repeated the process. Thanks again dude. ![]()

Thanks fellow Bruce Lee fan! What im doing with the shadow boxing is, i put one of my favourite 12 rounders in the dvd player and shadow box with the fighters, then i run on the spot in between rounds. I find this a really fun way to do something that i would normally get bored with quickly!
Just checking in Pav, and seeing where things are at. If you’ve been sticking to your routine, I imagine you are starting to see some good results.
I’ve learned a lot from this place and its members since I joined (lots more to learn too, of course), and one thing that has been very important I found, was both in mixing up workouts properly (one day HIIT, the next maybe lifting, or skills, etc ), but also allowing for recovery, getting those rest days in, and especially after some of the hardest workout days.
So good luck and keep at it! ![]()

Ok, so its got to the stage now where im thinking that i should stop pit-pattering around and get down to serious training. Running for 30 minutes every morning (partly up a very steep hill) is where im gonna start, then after work, some shadow boxing followed by bodyweight strength training. I am gonna do this 6 days a week with a rest day on the Sunday.

What’s a morning?
I’ve got a great workout if you are into rock climbing ![]()
Haha, unfortunately i dont live in a good area for rock climbing mate, but thanks anyway. A morning is a weight exercise where you bend your back to waist level while keeping your back and legs straight. Very good for lower back and hamstrings so im led to believe.
Its called a good morning. ![]()
Thats right dude, im just too lazy to use the correct term. ;D
