    Default sourpuss's training log

    I'm hoping this will keep me motivated. The last month or so I've been slacking off. I had a busy winter and spring with training and fights and needed a break.

    I have two major tournaments coming up in July and August and need to get back on my 6 days a week workout schedule. Any suggestions or general 'get your a$$ in the gym!' motivational comments appreciated.

    Today (Saturday) I'm planning on a short run, 45 minutes of cycling and then I'll meet my coach for some padwork. I usually end my workouts with extra abs and a lot of stretching.

    As soon as the weather permits, I'll be getting back to my runs in the mountains. Those really helped last season since it's at high altitude. It's just too wet right now, so I'm hoping by next week most of the trails will be dry.

    I suppose I should give a bit of a background.

    I live in the US and I've been boxing for three years now. I'm female and have near 20 fights so it getting harder and harder to find opponents these days. I imagine major tournaments are going to be my best bet at this point as there aren't many girls in this area. I have two major tournaments coming up this summer. One in the first week in July and one in the first week in August. So now is the time I really need to step up my training. I never really take breaks, I usually just back off to 4 or 5 days a week of working out. So back to 6 days a week.

    Well, welcome to the site sourpuss. Nice to see there are dedicated female boxers out there, in all honesty I don't think I've ever met a female boxing fan let alone boxer haha. There should be more.. boxing is way better than make-up.

    I hear you on the hard to find opponents thing. I don't have near as many santioned fights, as they are tough to find given my age and size and location. And I haven't had much luck even when they were set up, with last minute cancellations and such. I do get to fight alot though, but they are In house and local fights and am usually fighting older dudes in their early 20's and such and dobn't count for anything other then experience. Some good, some terrible.

    We will travel pretty much anywhere in Ontario, and into Michigan for fights. Hopefully this next one holds up for me June 14th.

    When you get the time I'd be interested in seeing you lay out your routine. I think it helps to have it written down and organized in a black and white sort of way. That way if we start slacking a bit, we can come look at our logs and kinda say..."Oh yea shit...that's what I'm supposed to be doing."

    Thanks guys.
    I just did a couple of hours at the gym. About 45 minutes of mitts with my coach and another hour+ of cycling, abs, skipping and shadowboxing.

    Today was pretty light. Tomorrow I'll only have time for a run and hopefully some mitts.

    C'mon sourpuss, get your ass in gear! It's 7 a.m. here and I've already done stretching, 4 rounds of skipping as warm up and down, and a set of 8 tabata sprints.

    I bet one of your upcoming opponents is doing the same thing. Better get busy!

    Ok, so I've watched the videos and came up with a game plan so I feel a little better about it. My coach and I will work all week on it so we'll see....

    My opponent got the flu.
    More time to prepare, right? (looking on the bright side)
    I'm hoping that someone will turn up but the chances are slim to none.

    Have you tried trash talking your opponents into fighting you? James Toney style? I think it suits you

    That is a bummer but i guess when the weather is cold and you're NOT sick while other people are then you're doing something right with your training.

    I always found I'd get sick easily when i was in full training and it annoyed me but if you don't that's something to be proud of.

    You have more time to develop your game plan too and make some of the counters you need automatic so even under pressure it will be there when she is ready to compete again - probably a bit out of condition after being sick.
