Bronx Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 I decided to start boxing training a little bit over a month ago and I am in my 50s. I am currently at 10 rounds, 3 minutes + each high-intensity heavy bag training I do seven rounds of the quick rope as well (the first time took me a few days to recover). I am pretty light on my feet and it helps with my lateral movements. In addition, I am doing HIT with dumbbells for all muscle groups. I currently have an 80 year old coach, and I haven't seen anyone with such straight posture, amazing. I asked the coach if there was anyone that I could spar with, but at the moment most are younger athletes, I would simply hurt some of these kids. I am basically the oldest person training, and because I am in outstanding shape and my peers are mostly disabled, makes it hard for me to find a regular sparring partner. I am the oldest fuk there! Hopefully I get a chance to spar one day, and if I get knocked down or out, I will post the picture here! LMAO I am learning this new skill as a therapy and I feel like I am getting stronger with the weights due to the intense heavy bag training, I also recommend for you guys to continue learning something new--regardless of age--and incorporate them in your regime, for a diverse and healthier lifestyle. Hey, why not boxing? Anyone of you guys have been involved in boxing? Any tips or suggestions are always appreciated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 Boxing is one of the all time great workouts. Cardio, strength, whole body. The only thing I have ever seen with patients is they over develop the chest, and don't do enough back, so they can hunch forward a bit, just make sure you are getting some balance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 People getting very into training and then being cocky about how well they could probably spar is a tale as old as time throughout gyms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
