Obviously anybody exercising knows that you don’t just do one muscle group, you alternate and get more well rounded in your skills. But that being said, we all have areas that we want to improve on. I have pretty decent arms and chest, but now I think I need to work my traps and and shoulders. I have some notes that I’ve been writing down for what exercises to focus on and what the muscles do. What do y’all wanna work on? I love exercise and talking about it, everyone interacts with it in a different way, gets tired at different paces, sweats more or less, does more or less reps or sets.

    That’s badass! I’ve been doing light boxing since I was like 8. Roughly how long do you train fighting in one sitting because I actually haven’t hit the bag in a year or 2, I always need to catch my breath after like 5 minutes now.

      Depends really. If I had a heavier workout that day, I just do a short workout of 10-15 minutes.

      I try to at least do some sort of fight training everyday. Could be sparring, could be punching something or just some shadowboxing. I found the shadowboxing, despite it’s weirdness, to be really helpful to maintain technique and stamina. There’s good workouts on YouTube that will guide you through a workout. A 20 minute shadowboxing workout can actually be pretty hard lol. But it’s a great way to build up some stamina for more heavier fight training.

      I’m also looking into judo again. I’ve almost reached the black belt before I quit some years ago, so I might give it a go again to get to the end.

        Shadowboxing is great bc any time I hit my bag, it’s pretty loud for anybody at home. I actually checked out one of the videos you posted on here, a 15 minute shadowbox, but I used it as a guide for hitting the bag, it left me sweating like a pig, I try to do it in my free time now if I’m not watching something or reading
