is boxing good cardio?

is boxing good cardio?

is just hitting a heavy bag around a pretty good workout? i want to do some running but its so boring haha.....hitting a heavy bag around in my garage with some loud music would be more enjoyable to me...but will it do anything? if so....... wheres a good place to get a heavy bag for a good price.....or maybe a slaman thing..or something that doesnt hang from the ceiling

Yeah boxing is awesome. You would obviously have to make it intense for cardiovascular benefit but it would do the job.

tommyortom is just hitting a heavy bag around a pretty good workout? i want to do some running but its so boring haha.....hitting a heavy bag around in my garage with some loud music would be more enjoyable to me...but will it do anything? if so....... wheres a good place to get a heavy bag for a good price.....or maybe a slaman thing..or something that doesnt hang from the ceiling Don't get one of the slam man things...(the one where its the upper torso of a person) They're fucking shitty. I had one and everytime I hit it hard I'd have to re-adjust it. Not stable at all. I'd get a heavy bag...

or you could always shadow box... that works pretty damn well i've heard

Boxing is awesome cardio, if you get a sparring partner it's also a lot of fun. If you aren't a serious boxer you don't have to beat the hell out of each other, and you can still get a good cardio workout.

i love jump roping. seems like it works well

Boxing is easily the best cardio in the world and I've done it all. I hope to start boxing in a month or 2 after I'm done recovering from shoulder surgery. Boxing > all.

Incog91 Boxing > all. this is true, boxing is the greatest sport ever. and yes, hitting a heavy bag or speed bag is a good cardio workout.

How long is a piece of string?

Nick Boxing is awesome cardio, if you get a sparring partner it's also a lot of fun. If you aren't a serious boxer you don't have to beat the hell out of each other, and you can still get a good cardio workout. Give me and my 2 sets of boxing gloves and it will be anything but "not serious"

Yeah, I enjoy it, i just did it for 10 minutes or so, It worked me pretty well. I am going to start boxing and jump roping for cardio every other day and running the other days that I do cardio.

It's definitely good... it'll be better if you learn good form. If you get your footwork down and keep your hands up and stay moving while you do drills or just throw some good punches you'll be aching in less than 10 minutes. Just don't do a shoulder workout the day before going at it.

Boxing gym?

Boxing gym?

How many people here attent to a boxing gym? Currently i am a member of ballys and i would love to aquire boxing skills. Anyone here go to one? What is it like? ibthreadfailure

all gyms are different depending on where you go

you just have to go in and check them and find which suits your needs, some of them offer boxing/cardio classes where they incorporate some light boxing technique into a cardio format, kind of like tae bo or whatever...so it all depends what u want to do

Should AFL/ pro Teams start drafting ....

350 lb Lifters who squat 900 and bench 600 with no particular skill or experience in football and put them on the line? Would it be worth it to put strong powerful dudes and teach them football?

no...look at Brock Lesnar

i think football is more a combo of speed/strength/leverage...when it comes to line men, not just brute strength.

jmx2323 i think football is more a combo of speed/strength/leverage...when it comes to line men, not just brute strength. How about a nose tackle? edit...well I guess they already do

Ceaze no...look at Brock Lesnar story?

no

stealthrapt0r story? he got cut from the vikings after trying out

Power is much more important than strength when it comes to lineplay. I you could find 350 pounders who had good balance, conditioning, grip strength, and the ability to move explosively (power), then you would have something to work with. I played ball with a lot of guys that look like tarzan and play like jane.

yeah but benching, while laying stationary on your back is diffrent from benching(pushing) a 280lb lineman who is shifting/droping his weight and trying to fight you off while moving in every direction.

jmx2323 yeah but benching, while laying stationary on your back is diffrent from benching(pushing) a 280lb lineman who is shifting/droping his weight and trying to fight you off while moving in every direction. but regardless of skill, your average lineman won't stop an animal who simply out muscles you

If you trained the Westside lifters to be football players long enough I'm sure they'd have a chance, whereas if you just took them and lined them up against a Pro Bowl tackle they'd probably get raped.

I agree with the brute strength argument, but you guys are acting like NFL lineman only bench 225 and squat 300....with out a doubt they train diffrently becasue they need explosive strength but also need it for 60+ playing min.

stealthrapt0r story? guy thought that because he was strong, he could play football. Guy tried out, and realized that he failed horribly. Came to the conclusion that because you are strong does not mean shit and went back to wrestling.

No.

Bulk Nutrition = 1Fast400?

Bulk Nutrition = 1Fast400?

Are these the same company/website? Im sure this has been covered before but couldnt find anything referencing it when I searched.

nope two different companys BN copied 1fast I think they are in the middle of a lawsuit about it now

DCCapen WTF? STFU What would you know about suppliments? Do you even workout

order from 1fast400, the people at bulk nutrition are dicks

DCCapen actually yes I do, and I know all I personally need about them The point in the post was that they are the same company. I almost doubted myself for a min until I double checked the log history at the site and the owner.

Jeff Coleman order from 1fast400, the people at bulk nutrition are dicks ripping off 1fast like that

i just read like 10 pposts a few hours ago about this shit

DCCapen And here Jeg was, just being facetious, I thought he was just a moron. I'm a little bit of each

Jeg



1fast it is then, thanks for the replies



Um, same company.

I ordered from 1fast400 and they sent me a free bulk nutrition t-shirt...

dingo I ordered from 1fast400 and they sent me a free bulk nutrition t-shirt... theyre sending me a free gym bag

I'm both, I guess I have identity problems

I need to lose as close to 30 lbs as I can in 9-10 weeks

I need to lose as close to 30 lbs as I can in 9-10 weeks

Am I crazy? I'm 5'11", 230 lbs, and I'm aiming to be around 200 come the second week of June. Thinking about going in, lifting weights for an hour or two, and then going to do some heavy cardiovascular (sp) for another hour or two. Suggestions? Death Warrants? EDIT: Changed the weekage to 10-15 weeks. If I start this Sunday (and start counting weeks from there) this will give me until the early/middle part of July to reach the weight limit I'd like.

Military?

and you have 2 months you should be able to pull it off if you seriously commit yourself. Read Christophers want to lose fat sticky

Military might be easier Going to Australia to meet up with an ex-girlfriend temporarily, whilst visiting another girl. I want this, basically, to be as much of a 'look what you lost'-type of thing. Yeah, it's a shitty reason, but I've been trying to get up the motivation to start working out again, and I believe, that this would be a good one. Reading the guide right now, btw.

3lbs/week is what you need to lose. Which is a 10,500 calorie per week deficit, which is roughly 1500 calories/day under maintenance. It can be done, but it'll be tough.. and you will lose muscle in the process.

As I said, as close to 30 lbs as I can get by the second week of June. I also could probably push the deadline back to the end of June, but that'll be pushing it. Anybody have suggestions on food ideas? I see from the fat thread to avoid certain things, and to have more of others. Wonder if odd, shitty meals like Tuna Helper (ugh.) might have anything good out there. I've honestly never scouted specifically for higher-health foods

Or how little?

Hezkezl Or how little?

I hear you can live with no food for about 2 weeks. Maybe you shouldnt eat at all.

How's this sound: Monday: Legs (Squats and the like, probably) Tuesday: Arms/Chest (Benchpressing, Arm Curls, etc) Wednesday: Abs/Stomach (Crunches, situps, etc) Thursday: Arms again Friday: Legs again Saturday: Running Sunday: A certain video game (that I have been playing for years, but is now slowly catching on with the media as a 'weightloss'-type game) that I'm sure some people on here don't like. DDR! (Note, that I'm at the extreme upper levels on this game, and I can easily go from being completely normal, to arms, legs, lungs dead, flat on the ground gasping for breath, a minute and a half later) Also note, that after every day (except Saturday) I will be accompanying it with a half hour-hour jog/run around my local high school track. Suggestions? Comments? IBddrisghey.

Ilyusha Wasn't planning on NOT eating, but cutting back, to me, severely

I'm losing about 3lbs per week on a 1400 cal diet while working out.

Soularis I'm losing about 3lbs per week on a 1400 cal diet while working out. Details?

Hezkezl Details? His maintenance is ~3000 calories/day.

Soularis I'm losing about 3lbs per week on a 1400 cal diet while working out. and im losing the same on a 2400 or so diet. everyone is different

Hezkezl Details? Lift 3 days a week, cardio once, but I also do kickboxing and grappling twice a week. When I'm home I try to keep as busy as possible, doing light ab and core work including a lot of medicine ball stuff especially when watching TV. If I eat too many calories I'll try to do a little something before bed, even if it's just some jumping jacks or push ups.

Are you trying to lose weight? Gain muscle? With your routine there you might be over working yourself a little. I'd do it more like: Monday: Arms/Chest Tue: Off Wed: Legs + squats Thur: Off (you can do arms if they're fully regained Fri: Abdominals/Back + dead lifts Sat: HIIT (sprinting, interval training) Sun: Off (legs again if you can muster the strength. I wouldn't recommend it.) I normally wouldn't recommend working out more than 4 times a week. After that point you'd be doing more harm to your body than good. Instead of jogging everyday I'd just recommend medium-light cardio activity. Walk your dog, go for a walk, a bike ride, play some basketball, etc. You don't have to run around a track to do cardio. Also, 30 lbs is almost too much to lose over the course of 15 weeks. Instead of focusing on losing weight, I'd focus more on changing your body composition. Get lots of protein and eat very clean so you don't lose so much muscle mass. Focus on a different number than how much you weigh. You can do some form of body composition tests, or use measurements (chest, waist, arms, legs, etc) to keep more accurate measurements of your health. Weight can be deceiving. For your diet, don't look to "healthy alternatives" (ie chicken sandwich from Wendy's instead of hamburger from McDonalds) just eat healthy. Focus on "clean" protein-rich foods like bonless/skinless chicken breasts, fish, tuna, oatmeal, fruits, veggies, etc. If you want to lose 2lbs a week then there won't be much room for cheating. Check out the various archived threads and the stickies in this forum for a wealth of diet/exercise info. Good luck, be safe.

Thanks everybody for the replies My main problem, is this odd beer gut I seemed to have grown.. I'm willing to do almost whatever it takes, to get it as gone as possible Guess I'll change from focusing on what my weight is, to my gut size! I'll give your suggestions a try, xpinchx, as well as, obviously, some of what's listed in the newb fat losing thread. I do agree that running everyday might be a bit much, I just sketched out a rough idea for ideas. Thanks again for the ideas, keep 'em comin Edit: I've actually got some huge-ish legs. Mainly, from doing the above video game that I mentioned, just about every week for the past 2 years. I think I can whip them back into a little bit better shape, and muster up the leg muscle to do another set of leg workouts during the week
