Felt full of energy today. Although the last 2 rounds on the double end bag I got a bit tired and my timing and accuracy was a bit hit and miss.

7 rounds skipping

2 rounds shadow boxing

2.5 rounds mitts

6 rouns heavy bag

5 rounds double end bag

2 rounds sparring

Didnt feel like sparring today. As I was about to finish off, one of the trainers walked into the gym and told me to put my mouthguard in and spar a couple of rounds. I was absolutely knackered by this point and the lad I sparred with was basically taking the piss out of me because I could barely swing my arms. Still, I landed a couple of nice hooks to the body when he was pissing about on the ropes and it was good to get a few more rounds under my belt.
Still, sparring with pros is hard going because its hard to lay a glove on them. it would be nice if some adult amateurs would join the gym so I could at least have a go with someone around my level.

Have you tried to recruit yourself. I have exactly 10 friends who are now at my gym. Of those, 2 are already sparring, and most likely a few more will drop off as always, but before that there was no one my age. I know it will be harder at an older age and you won't get the same interest, but you never know...maybe a friend, coworker? Sure it may take them awhile to get up to speed, and maybe they'll never spar, but it does help I find to have people close in age, and specifically those I know/knew outside of boxing.

Nah, no chance of that really. Most of the people I know over here are either too old, too unfit or no good at sport. My best mate here used to do Kyokushin karate and he made a few noises about joining the gym but he has piss poor will power and I doubt he will ever join.
The odd adult joins the gym now and again but usually they come a few times and I never see them again. The gym is pretty much pro fighters, school kids, women in the upstairs fitness area and me.
