if anyone shares the same story as me please let me know and give me your experience. I fractured my hand like 3 months ago and it still hurts sometimes when i grip hard on something. Thing is I haven’t worked out and have gained weight.(im fat, but still have all that bulk from heavy weightlifting, but lost strength in weightlifting terms.) Thing is I want to start boxing classes to get a good cardio workout and start losing pounds. But im afraid my hand will bug me. I hit the bag and it doesn’t hurt that much but i think when i receive punches to my hands(blocking punches from sparring, or give blows they will hurt. And I don’t want to look like a wussy and back down from sparring. What do you all think?
Nope, you must start with the cardiovascular basics, not the shadow boxing the punching bag. The most important thing is kilter your body, so that eventually your fractured hand will adapt a usual way of moving or sweating without swelling when you hit the bags more.
This will give your muscles a strong lift to balance the force. Also, be sure not just to practice your hands, but your body coordination. In this case, when you grip something, it gives the flow motion of your body enough strength to lift things you can’t normally lift with your aging hand right now, most importantly with ease.
