Boxing for cardio
- Thread starter big_stud77356
- Start date
Shit yeah bro, best self confidence builder I have ever done in my life, better than just lifting weights and getting cut, well almost as good.
Me personally I started boxing the beginning of this school term (Junior in College) at the local gym due to just being curious. My reccomendation is just to build up your endurance before you really get into it, to get the full benefits.
But typically I do a Chest/Back workout (more for maintenance on my CKD) on Tue/Thurs, then do my boxing routine which is as follows:
3-3 minute rounds(on), 30 Sec (Off) of Jumprope (Speed rope)
1-3 min round (on), 30sec (off) heavy rope (like 3lbs)
5-3 min rounds with Weighted Gloves [4-6oz weights]
(off www.ringside.com -Contenders Pro bag glove-$50)
3-3 min rounds with weights taken out
Stretch and then do some very light biking to bring myself down
Hit the Sauana for about 10-20 min
Overall I like to go for the 5lb loss (water weight) to really get an intense cardio session in

Big-Stud,
Lord Suston is a member and knows quite a deal about boxing. Give him a shout.

i do it almost every day at medium intensity for cardio, if u kick it up to high intensity i find it more tiring than running plus way more fun

I love boxing for cardio... 'cuz I love to box and I hate cardio.
you sure about the Standard Boxing match burning as much calories as jogging 2 miles? That sounds way too low... I remember when I wrestled in H.S., that was 10x harder than running 5 miles, and was only 3 minutes. In boxing typically the rounds are 2 minutes at the least, and can go on for 10 rounds if need be (say an average of 5). You are going all out for 5 rounds, vs jogging 2-7 minute miles

Slugfest 4-6oz gloves? my wraps weigh more.
Big-Stud my regiment is a little lighter than it used to be when I competed but good for weightlifters who need to cut up and learn to kick some ass.
5 minutes light stretching
2-3minute round of shadow boxing with one minute break
3-5 (depending on what type of shape you are in) 3minute rounds on the heavy bag with either 8oz or 14oz gloves
2-3 rounds on foot work in the ring.
cooldown stretching and ab work.
I do this about 2-3 times a week and if I really tryed to diet I would lose some serious fat. My next routine will be posted next week.
Running is childs play compared to boxing, all you really need to do is move your legs. when you spar someone or have a good trainer who has mits the you are real trouble, passing out is the norm

I've been thinking about getting a punching bag instead of doing cardio. I like smashin out a few on the ole bag. I'm sure my brother would appreciate it as last week we got drunk and he said to punch him in the stomach, so I did and cracked a few ribs to boot.
Sorry bro..
Sorry bro..

NO, fuck boxing. messes up your hands and wrists. you may have problems doing brabell curls later in your life. When I boxed, and shortly after I stopped, during the curls, my wrist muscles/tendons/whatever wouldn't hold the weight, and disconnect in the joint. Very painful, not to mention can't dao anything for biceps except hammer curls. Oh well, to each his own. Have fun, it's a great sport.
