ChiliMac Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Before I used to jog 3x a week and lift weights 3x week as well while I was building my endurance, I did not lose any weight at all. My tendency is to overeat afterwards so I devised a plan not to fail, I limited my food intake. I continued to jog 3x a week and started doing breathing exercises (from "Yoga Zone" which I bought in a record bar) in between days. I read somewhere that breathing properly delivers all the necessary oxygen needed to burn more of your problem area. I'm not sure about how it works but all those stretching and breathing calisthenics make me feel good. When I started my regimen a month ago I weighed 102 Kgs, right now I weigh 94 Kgs. My weight loss regimen might not work for all so I'm not suggesting it. If your into lifting weights then by all means continue doing so. Cheers! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
geneticfreak Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 find a workout that is fun for you. more than half of the people who start a program drop out within 12 months. True True. Sad thing is a lot actually drop out after a few weeks or just one to two months. Dapat talaga yung workout mo yung nakakaaliw or nabgigibay saya sa iyo so you don't lose motivation.

anonymousse Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm thinking of getting into boxing and making it my cardio exercise. Okay ba sa Elorde Boxing Gym? Magkano ang rates? Was looking for an Elorde thread in this forum but couldn't find any. Quote Link to comment
Olympus Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm thinking of getting into boxing and making it my cardio exercise. Okay ba sa Elorde Boxing Gym? Magkano ang rates? Was looking for an Elorde thread in this forum but couldn't find any. Where are you located to begin with? There are a lot of good boxing gyms out there that are equal to or even better than elorde. Do you already workout? Just be cautioned since if you are not in shape, boxing won't be as fun as compared to if you're in decent shape already Quote Link to comment
anonymousse Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 My office is near an Elorde outlet, that's why I thought of checking it out. I haven't worked out in a gym for a year now, although I play basketball regularly. Bugbugan ba kaagad ang boxing training? Don't they bring you along slowly muna? Quote Link to comment

Even the basic boxing can be a bit too challenging for guys who aren't in deent shape. It never gails, in all boxing gyms I've visited, I've seen guys having sloppy form just trying to survive the round. But, those who are in decent shape get to maintain at least decent form even when fatigued. Quote Link to comment
anonymousse Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I wasn't really planning on doing actual rounds at the beginning. I was really looking at the training aspect of boxing, you know, pnching bag, mitts, etc. Pag medyo sanay na, doon na lang siguro ako sasabak sa ring. Quote Link to comment

I was really looking at the training aspect of boxing, you know, pnching bag, mitts, etc. Pag medyo sanay na, doon na lang siguro ako sasabak sa ring. that's exactly what I was talking about. As I said, every gym I go to, the people i see hitting the mitts are already badly gassed out and just trying to finish the round with sloppy punches. Quote Link to comment
anonymousse Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 ^Ah, I see. When you said "survive the round" I thought you meant a three-minute boxing round. Quote Link to comment
angeljed Posted September 27, 2008 Share Posted September 27, 2008 Boxing is like HIIT. you go all out for a few minutes then rest a little then go at it again. Boxing also works out the abs more than sprinting or running. Quote Link to comment

angeljed Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Maganda po ung HIIT lalo na kapag na-bobore sa regular na running/jogging. Ilang sprints lang lalo na kung all out ung sprint talagang hingal na saka todo pawis. Quote Link to comment
