Alright, so this month I decided to get serious about my boxing training. I’ve been wanting to get back in shape and learn some proper technique, so I mapped out a whole September boxing schedule. Let me walk you through how I put it together and what I’m hoping to achieve.
First things first, I grabbed a calendar. Yeah, a good old-fashioned paper calendar. Something about physically writing it down helps me stick to it. I like the feeling of crossing things off too, so there is something that’s just perfect for me.
Then I sat down and thought about how many days a week I could realistically commit to training. I didn’t want to burn out in the first week, so I aimed for three days. Figured that was a good balance between pushing myself and allowing for recovery.
Next, I started blocking out my work schedule and other commitments. I wanted to make sure my boxing days wouldn’t clash with anything important. This step is crucial. You gotta be honest with yourself about how much time you actually have.
Okay, now for the fun part. I decided what each training session would focus on. I wanted a mix of cardio, strength training, and technique work. Here’s what I came up with:
- Monday: Cardio and footwork. This would involve running, skipping rope, and practicing basic footwork drills.
- Wednesday: Strength and conditioning. Focus on exercises like push-ups, squats, lunges, and core work. Basically, building a solid foundation.
- Friday: Bag work and technique. This is where I’d practice my punches, combinations, and defensive moves on the heavy bag. Maybe some sparring later down the line.
I wrote all of that into the calendar, marking each day with the specific focus. I also added in some notes about what I wanted to accomplish each session. For example, on Monday, I might write “Run 3 miles” or “Practice footwork for 30 minutes.”
To make sure I actually follow through, I also set reminders on my phone for each training session. A little nudge can make a big difference when you’re feeling lazy. Plus, seeing it pop up on my screen throughout the day reinforces the commitment.
Finally, I told a friend about my schedule. Having someone to hold me accountable is a huge motivator. We even talked about training together sometimes, which would be even better.
So, that’s my September boxing schedule. It’s not fancy, but I think it’s a solid plan that I can stick to. My goal is to improve my fitness, learn some boxing skills, and just have fun. I’ll be tracking how it goes, that’s for sure.
My Expectations
Now, I’m not expecting to become a pro boxer overnight. This is about progress, not perfection. I know there will be days when I don’t feel like training, but I’m committed to pushing through and staying consistent. I’m also prepared to adjust the schedule as needed. Life happens, and flexibility is key.
I also plan to track my progress. I will record my workouts, how I feel, and any improvements I see. This will help me stay motivated and make sure I’m on the right track. I might even take some before-and-after photos to see the physical changes. Who knows?
So, that’s it! Wish me luck, and maybe I’ll share some updates on how the training is going later in the month.
