- Sunday 13th December - I was going to start this tomorrow but I couldn't wait so I ate most of the stuff on my usual food intake list and did a 3 mile run in about 27 minutes which is a bit slow considering my best time is 22:36

I plan on adding something to eat after 5:30 about 8-ish after my run. Probbably some source of dairy/calcium like cottage cheese or milk.

cottage cheese is a good end of a workout day food, because of the slow-digesting casein protein content. I think it is wise of you to consider your protein intakes post workout, as I see you are thinking about supping wth whey also, given the extensive cardio you have planned.

Wednesday 16 December - I've stuck to my diet but I havn't exercised.

Thursday 17 December - Same to above.

I break up from school tomorrow for afew weeks so I will be more focoused on training. My boxing gym has closed for Christmas and New year and it re-opens on the 6th of Januany. I'm thinking of stuff to add that doesnt require a gym. Maybey I'll see if I can turn my gargage into boxing gym.

Here is a good thread for strength conditioning. All bodyweight/plyometrics stuff. No gym required. Read thru whole thread as there is lots there.

For considering how to do them, personally I use a tabata based protocol. Where I go from one exercise to another, usually series/sets of 10-12 exercises doing 30 secs per each. You can take a 10 or so sec break in between each exercise to replicate. At the end of each set a 1 min break.

Start with one set, then maybe 2...upwards to 4 or so as you progress. This is very taxing. But it will build strength and explosiveness. I'd consider a well-balanced look at overall body work, core, legs, upperbody and try to mix it up a bit within the sets when choosing what to do, making sure you are targetting all areas.

Be sure to fuel your workout properly by loading up on carbs 2 hrs or so before, and getting some carbs but more importantly protein in you after. A whey protein shake is best 5-10 mins after workout, but if not that, then some other protein rich food.

Just some thoughts to consider for strength training for boxing.

I hate to disappoint you guys but last week I haven't done a thing. You can blame the ice-covered roads for my lack of running but no excuse for my devouring of chocolate and sitting on my ass all day playing fallout 3 and fifa 10 (Surprisingly I've remained at the same weight, maybe my body make it hard to go higher and lowering than 156). Hope you all had a merry christmas.

28th December 2009 - It re-starts here. I've added odourless garlic tablets into diet because I have poor circulation and suppose the more blood flowing the better I can move.

I hope the ice-clears. I want to run and thanks Youngblood for telling me about that thread, gonna add protein shake at 8:00 pm after my training.
