[i]I've been working out for about 18 months now, mainly doing body tone work and fat loss. I feel I've gotten some great results and got my BF down to 10% at one stage. During this time, while I got very interested in Boxing about 8 months ago. But the gym I go to only offer begineer classes, this program, with the help of alot of reading for other websites, and talking to boxing trainers is to help me get into a condition where I can start heavy training in December when I join a boxing club in my area. Goals for this program is to gain better anerobic fitness. [/i]



[i]Please also note that I have not places all my abdominal exercises as I have daily exercises, but I only added the days when I do heavy ab work. Criticism is welcome as feedback is important to me. I'll be using this as a sort of Online Journal for a few weeks to help me keep tabs on my progress, week one and week 8 pictures will be added once finished and there may be changes to this programs during the first few weeks to set higher boundaries to push.

Thank you if you have taken the time to read this.

As I've been injured this week with a badly corked leg I haven't been able to start the training I wanted, but I've still been doing abdominal work and upper body work. Dips, Chip Ups, Bi-cept curls and Shoulder Presses. Feeling a good burn with the 5x5 work out keeping good posture and alot of stetches and inner core work what I'm limited to.

guess who

i'm not expert, but isn't working the same muscles every day bad? as with all the chin ups, push ups, etc.

From where I am now, I wouldn't say working the same muscles everyday is what I'm doing. I've been doing Chin Ups, and Dips daily for about 6 months now. It's just part of my daily regime. Heavy abdominal work will get rest days, the focus here is more anerobic work to start with.

fair enough. i remember when i used to do push-ups daily. and did sets of 150. then i entered the gym for a month, stopped doing push-ups, and have never done more than 50 in a set since. just a random fact.

You shouldn't keep doing something till it becomes that easy that it's a second nature. You have to change and modify thing till you become able to get a better work out from what you do.


I'm still unable to run at the moment, but I've been able to get some upper body strength work done. So I'm not progressing as fast as I would of wanted too, but I'm not falling behind.

Only when bodybuilding (hypertrophy - 2-3 days rest between body parts) or strength training (3-5 days rest between body parts). Boxing workouts are geared more towards toning and endurance, which can be performed every 24 hours.

Is age a matter in the program?
