More Boxing For The Street Training Regimes


As already said, general workouts are for everybody, athletes or non-athletes, ace or nonace
fighters. For street boxing, a regular workout is as good as a car that is always in use.

Stop using the car for a long while and everything gets bogged down. The list below is necessary
for top fighter.

1. Run regularly. To sharpen body mobility and mind, running regularly is a must. It
keeps muscles worked out especially for very abrupt body maneuvers, and keeps the
mind alert due to the good oxygen supply brought about by running.

WARNING: Be sure to fix running schedules according to what your body can
tolerate. Never overwork your body to exhaustion. Exhaustion damages rather than
improves skills and health. Make sure you use shoes that are very comfortable to your
feet, ankles, and forelegs. Replenish your body fluids with clean and healthy water
each time you thirst in a workout. Run where fresh air is abundant. Never run where
traffic is congested or where there is industrial pollution.

2. Lift some weights. Either by barbells or by lifting your own weight through push ups,
pull-ups, or squats, regular weight lifting is essential. It tremendously tones up the
needed muscle for strength and endurance. If you have the right muscle proportion for
the needed performance, and such muscles are well stretched and firmed up, your
body will function as your will commands it.

WARNING: Don’t over-train with weights, nor should you under-train with them.
Lifting weights too heavy for you might damage your bones, especially your spine.
Lifting weights too light for you, on the other hand, will not produce the needed
muscle bulk to support a demanding athletic performance. Often, the weight you can
lift safely is based on your body weight. Bench press, squats with weights, and dead
lifts are usually done with a weight equal to your body weight, or half of it. Make
sure you are supervised by a sport professional.

3. Muscle stretching. This not only prepares your muscles for a major workout (like in
warm-ups and calisthenics), but also keeps your ligaments flexible and obedient to
how your mind pictures yourself while doing a performance. An imaginative mind is
not enough in sports. What good would it do for you if you understand what needs to
be done, but your body refuses to comply with the needed performance? Flexible
muscles and tendons ensure completion and perfection of any athletic performance.

Finally, muscle stretching eliminates painful strains in the muscles. In some cases, too
much excessive pulls and twists may result to permanent damage.

WARNING: Don’t try to stretch your muscles all the way overnight. Over stretching
too soon causes muscle and back pains that may result to sleepless nights. Stretch
your muscles slowly but surely. Don’t try to produce your desired results in one
session.

The above general list can be improved to include other general workouts but the point
here is that running, lifting weights, and muscle stretching must be included in any workout
program, be it for a very physically strenuous sport or a mere board game.

A good workout program done for life will ensure that the body stays in tip-top shape in
and out of boxing for the street competitions, and ready to take on any challenges, any time.
