So today I decided to start a journal on my road to boxing. It has been almost a year to day that I stepped into a real boxing gym. Aside from going to Crunch fitness a few times to hit the bag and workout I thought if I want to really get in shape, this is what I have to do. JOIN A REAL GYM AND GET BUSY!
I also decided to jot down what I ate and how I felt each day and take a daily picture of my progress.
I have never done a journal before so I hope this can reveal something about myself and give anyone who comes across this blog some inspiration.
BREAKFAST: I had an apple and a banana
LUNCH: Tuna sandwich with onions and spicy mayo.
DINNER: Left over pop pie that I cooked the day before and some Japanese ramen type that my wife bought (good stuff by the way although it was not the healthiest thing).
So I get to the gym and warm up, do some stretches.
- 3 rounds jump rope. Usually i get really tired on my legs when I just get back on the grind but i felt real good today, i didnt feel tired and did the 3 rounds with ease.
- 3 rounds shadow boxing. Worked around a leather ball to loosen up more. Nearly busted my ass since there was a wetspot.
- 3 rounds mitts. This was where my stamina was going to be tested. My coach gave me about 6 combinations to work on and by the 2nd round i was going through all the combos without stopping but i was a little winded after the second round and even more on the third but I just kept cool and not over work myself but overall i think i did real well for my first day back. My concentration was there and very relaxed.
The only issue i had was my right wrist, its so weak right now and I couldn't really throw it with force since everytime he cought it with the mitts it felt like it was just going to break in half, so i was trying to just keep in form as much as possible but even that wasn't working out that great either. I was trying to do more of a overhand throw so i wont feel the pain in my wrist. I just hope this doesn't get messed up again. SLOW AND STEADY TIGER!
- 3 rounds on the heavy bag, uppercut bag and wall bag (1 round each). Same issue here with my wrist, i couldnt throw it with force since i was scared to mess it up again. i just worked on form and doing combinations on all 3 bags.
- 2 rounds double end bag. Practiced mainly slipping and my jab for today.
- 2 rounds speed bag. Arms felt weak since its my first day, it was a little tough keeping it up for the whole round but soon enough ill be schooling this sucker.
- Situps and pushups. Did a good amount today it wasn't up to par to what i use to do when i was in top shape but i know i will get it back in a few weeks. I can't wait to see my abs again!
When I got home, I iced my right knee and right wrist. I couldn't control my right hand completely, i was scared that it was really damaged badly. When I was typing I couldn't control my pinky and closing and opening my hands was tough, it just felt really tight.
Luckily this morning was a lot better and I hope i just need to get it more work to strenghten it.
Tomorrow DAY 2!
