    Default Re: Looking for critique on my training

    My training is done in 3 parts:

    1. CONDITIONING

    - I start with 3 rounds of skipping with 30 second breaks in between
    - I then do "front and backs". Basically, I start by dropping down low until I'm lying face down on the ground and then get back up again, before dropping down the opposite way until my shoulders touch the floor. I do three 45 second sets of this with 30 second breaks in between
    - Burpees. Three 45 second sets with 30 second breaks.
    - Ab exercises. Three different types of exercises, 30 reps each (total 90 reps)
    - Lower back exercises. Three different types of exercises, 30 reps each
    - Front planks. 1:30 continuous
    - Pushups. Usually do around 15 pushpus or so, but I'm working to get this higher.
    - 50 air squats.
    - Arm rotations. I hold my arms out parallel to the ground and rotate them in little circles for 3 minutes, changing directions every 10 seconds. I can't quite do the full 3 minutes yet, I get a total of around 2:30.

    2. BOXING (on average 3 or 4 of each activity is one session - I don't do all of them in the same day)
    - Shadow boxing, minimum 3 rounds
    - Heavy bag, minimum 3 rounds
    - Speed bag, minimum 3 rounds
    - Floor to ceiling bag, minimum 3 rounds
    - Footwork practice, minimum 3 rounds
    - Slip bag and slip ropes, minimum 3 rounds

    3. RECOVERY
    - Bikram's yoga. A 90 minute session once a week.


    Currently I'm training on average 5 - 6 days a week. The conditioning is the most gruelling, so I can only manage that around once or twice a week at this stage. I would eventually like to be able to do this at least 3 times a week.

    On the lighter days of training, I'll usually pick around 3 or 4 of the exercises listed for a minimum of 30 minutes. Skipping is mandatory for every training session, and even on the days where I don't hit the gym I try to do the 3 rounds of skipping at home. The only time I'll miss a session of skipping is if my legs are really sore. The gym I go to doesn't have a strict teaching regime, so often I'm just working out by myself. I'll usually get some pointers and tips, and then just work on it myself for a week or so before asking the trainers opinion again. Total workout time for these sessions is generally between 45 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes.

    I've decided to use yoga on one of my rest days as an active rest day. It's great to get a good stretch, and the heat gets blood moving through my system which helps with the muscle soreness I get from the conditioning.

    That's pretty much it. I don't do any sparring cos I'm not at that level yet, and I haven't had a chance to do padwork with the instructors yet. For now I'm not too concerned as I'm trying to get my fitness levels up. I started from scratch, and it's been about 2 months of solid training now.


    DIET

    Thought I'd add a little note about my diet. I generally eat pretty clean, I stay away from processed sugars as much as I can and drink plenty of water. Breakfast will soon be a protein shake and fruit, lunch is usually some sort of roast with veggies, and dinner time usually grilled meat with veggies. I snack on almond nuts. I've also started taking a men's multivitamin, but that probably won't kick in for at least another month.


    WHAT I WANNA IMPROVE

    - I really want to improve my fitness, and I think if I stick to what I'm doing at the moment and continue pushing myself that'll come with time
    - Balance: my balance isn't so great especially when I'm moving backwards in my stance, so I need to work on my footwork. I took up yoga to also help in this area.
    - Speed: I suppose my speed isn't too bad, but there's no power at all in my shots
    - Power: Will adding a light weights workout help to increase power?
    - Technique: I know this will definitely increase my power, I guess it'll just take lots of practice and time


    ..and that's pretty much it! I apologise for the long post, but I figured I may aswell get it all down in one go!
