Open to Crticism, just need some guidance on weight

[Alpaha]

I would like to concider myself a new comer to boxing, as Im sure many of the people on here have been boxing for years.

As keen as I am, i unfortunatly only dedicate 2 days out of the week to actually box, and i try to run during the other days when ever I can.

When i started boxing i was around 78 kg (Very Unfit, I would gas out while doing intense cardio, bag work, skipping and shadow boxing, even running)

2 months down the line, I am at 69 KG, my coach tells me I shouldnt worry about my weight and concentrate on my technique etc. My stamina has obviously improved. How do I know what weight am I am suited at ? Becuase I think i can still lose allot of weight as like i said im training part time..

Im 5'8, and although ive lost weight, i still appear skinny fat. I am skinny, but i cant seem to get rid of my belly fat. When i sit down, i can tell theres allot of fat i need to get rid of there (Lets just say im far from getting any pacs). My eating habbits are normal, high in protien, no fizzy drinks. Carbs are at a very low..But i know i am not eating properly, hence my belly still being there

Any ideas on how I can get rid of it ? I was thinking more and more running/sit ups and just eating nothing but chicken and tuna salads with allot of water.

I am new to all of this, like a sponge right now. Just need some guidance.

Cheers.

he's probly tellin you not to worry about your weight right now cuz you shouldnt. if your just starting out, your main focus should be on technique and conditioning. work out as hard as you can every day and your body will take care of the rest. it will put you at what weight you're supposed to be naturally...

also I should add, if you're going to be boxing, you CANNOT have your carbs at a very low, like you mentioned. you need the energy from them.

stick to all natural foods and stay away from the junk. its prettys simple.

Thank you for the feedback.

Just eat right and give it time, if your training hard then you'll drop the weight.

How about using a Sauna Suit ? I know i will just lose water weight first, but if i keep a good diet and keep doing road work.

Will i shed the real pounds ?

I have looked up on using this and they say i will just regain the weight i lost after rehydrating.

However the fat that were used to create the sweat will not go back into my body, right ?

If you want to lose weight, eat right and do your roadwork and sling the rope. It will get you in shape.

This is my start up routine for beginner students, but it's a good warm up for a extended routine. The pictures of each exercise can been seen at . The rest of that book can be order on that site at or at amazon at


Warm-up exercise for level 1
Run a mile or 2X2 minute rounds on the jump rope, work your way up to 2 miles or 3X2 minute rounds on the jump rope. Note: when jogging long distance you’ll need to get use to a breathing technique. Either one long breath out and two short breaths in or one long breath in and two short breaths out usually works well)

Sometimes what I do, to help with the midsetion, i'll do the whole routine, then do a round on 3 or 4 different bags, then do another set on the ab work out, including the sit-twist and a sit-twist in a crunch position. This will help a greate deal.

no dude, dont use them

they're for guys that need to make weight for a fight, and it's used like the day before a fight or on the day of a fight
