Is this a realistic good boxing routine?

Posted at: 2015-04-20 
jogging up the side of mount Everest, fuelled by bacon sandwiches 6 times a week is not exactly the classic boxers workout lol. it sounds more like you're getting ready for SAS selection. and if you do that routine on that amount of calories for long then you're gonna end up looking like Christian bale in the machinist. just keep it simple

run 4 miles in the morning.....doesn't need to be 4 miles up a massive hill. mix it up a bit and do sprints instead twice a week

hit the floor to ceiling ball for half an hour in the afternoon followed by your press-ups and situps/body conditioning. then rest! go for a little walk in the evening if you feel like it...but not up a mountain too often. if you aren't training to compete and don't have a boxing club then there's no point killing yourself. why not get a few dumbbells and get a little weights routine going a few times a week too.

you cannot get stronger if you don't rest and if you tried to only have one rest day a month then you would fall apart fast...be realistic in your goals! most pro boxers work out twice a day, 5 days a week and then rest Saturday/sunday so that they can recover properly.

your diet should be improved if you're wanting to get a bit more serious with it too, try and keep the processed meats crap like sausage and fried stuff like bacon to once or twice a week and instead increase your lean meats a lot like chicken, turkey etc. your body needs protein and calories to repair itself so you need to be taking in more complex carbs like oats before your workouts, then having protein to repair it after.

Your routine is good for general fitness, but not for boxing. If you're training to fight, you got to do your roadwork before dawn, i.e. around 4 in the morning..

Gym work is not all double-end (floor-to-ceiling) bag. You do that for only 3-4 rounds @ 3 mins. each. Real gym work consists of a circuit of different boxing exercises, meaning, you go around each of the equipment and do certain number of rounds (@ 3 mins. each) for each exercise, to wit:

1. Shadowboxing

2. Punch mitts

3. Heavy bag

4. Speed bag

5. Double-end bag

6. Sparring (optional)

7. Jump rope

8. Ab work

*Don't forget to stretch and do light to moderate calisthenics before and after your workout.

Man it must be nice to think jogging at 8:45 in the morning is a good thing, the temperature is already in the high 90's by that time in my part of the country (U.S.).

Is it realistic, NO. Forget the problems with trying that routine 313 days a year, when do you plan to work?

You don't need to work on your upper body when your doing those uphill jogs and hiking, it's too much toll on the body. Just separate the upper body and lower body on separate days.

And since you don't have any boxing gyms nearby, you might as well buy boxing DVD, or instructional videos to start learning proper boxing training.

Your diet and regimen seems good for overall fitness, but it does seem too much.

Its not how a boxer would train really,your diet is wrong,plus the only boxing you're doing is the floor to ceiling ball,you should be getting the rounds in sparring and learning how to box,im sure there is a gym somewhere near you,you also need to be doing intense circuits,boxing is about bursts of energy,lots of sprints,lots of burpees etc

thats very close but when coming close to fight time, you should do cardio workout to lose weight and it makes you faster

Get up at 8-8:30 AM

Go for a jog of 4 miles uphill

9:15-9:30 have breakfast, a bacon sandwich with wholemeal bread with a bit of lettuce and tomato in it

12:00-12:45 have lunch, bacon or sausage sandwich with lettuce, cucumber and tomato in it

2:00 work out

Floor to celling ball for half an hour

Iron body conditioning with a steel block for half an hour

Press ups to failure

Sit ups to failure

4-5 have a few snacks, bannanas, oranges, cheese sandwich

6-7 PM have dinner, carrots, broccoli, lean mince or beef

8-9 have an hour walk up a mountain

10:30-11:00 bed time

One rest day a week to begin with then after about a month once a month rest day

Is this a good daily workout routine?
