I just began going to boxing class. The class is all the training you would do as a boxer just without the actual fighting. We use the big bag, gloves and everything.
I usually do resistance/weight training every other day. But when I box my muscles hurt as if i had been doing weights. Is the contact in boxing the same as resistance training? And if so, should I count my boxing class as my resistance training for the week?
No, think about it this way even football players, wrestlers and many other contact sports have to supplement resistance training into thier workout…if your muscles are truly sore you can still lift but decrease it to two days a week or so and go with lighter weights, less reps/sets or the parts that don’t hurt the most

the only excpetion to the rule i believe is bodypump that combines aerobics with resistance training but it isn’t a sport really
Boxing is a workout, but the thing is this. Really, what muscles do you use to box? I’m no qualified fitness instructor, but you are the one that knows what really best for you. Also, keep in mind this. Do you honestly know what you can do or can you really give more then 100% on doing something.
I’m prior military and really what’s basic training. Working on muscles until they fail and eventfully finding that inner strength that provides more when you need it!

Also, keep in mind this. You can only do so much. Trying to give 110% or maybe even more, when you really need it has a tole. Not everyone can serve in the military. I know this. It’s a lifestyle all in its own. There’s pros and cons with it. That’s just life.
Of the record. The military of today… DD’X
