boxing training

[Howlin Mad Missy]

ignore them. It's about what you can do, what you can realistically do. If that means 3x a week do that. Most am.clubs here have set training three times a week. You wouldn't be doing anything different.

2-3 days a week is fine for beginning. The thing I worry about is the time getting to and from the gym and the time spent there taking away from your studies, which should be priority #1.

I agree with sourpuss on this one. You will burn yourself out trying to keep up with everything and for some of us (me ) it will be the least fun thing which suffers most - school.

If you are working and studying full time have you thought about how many hours all this would add up to in a day and does it leave you time to sleep if you train and travel a long way to do it 5 days a weeks too?

Does it leave you time to co-exist with other people because long term you'll resent always having to turn down invites etc.

If you can fit it in without burning out it'll probably be good for you but if you look at the hours and you know they add up to more than you can maintain over an extended period of time then maybe wait.

I just get the feeling from your first post you are graduating soonish - am i right?

If you don't do well at school it might close doors for you which have a lasting effect on the course of your life.

If you just have to wait six months to graduate and you use that time to get fit it will make little difference to your boxing long term.
