One thing I noticed after a year of boxing is the culture at fighting gyms are way better than fitness gyms. Fitness gyms, dudes have tuff guy egos for no reason and are super insecure. In the boxing gym, egos get checked real quick! So, people are super friendly, helpful and humble.
There is also less talking and chatting in a boxing gym vs fitness gym. after a 3 minute round and after the 1 min rest goes off everyone is back to work.
There is an old dude in my gym that started boxing at the age 65. He lost 50 pounds in 1 year and just started sparring. Another dude 75 just joined. He was not athletic but he keeps coming back. After 2 weeks hes got some flow on the double end bag.
Keith is 100% correct!! I started boxing at age 68. I just had my first fight in Las Vegas at 72. I'm in the best shape of my life! Boxing keeps me working out and improving my skills daily. It's NEVER TOO LATE to start. Competing is an option but training is where the results are.
I just started 3 weeks ago with no prior experience. I’m going MWF every week. My trainer told me it would take 1-2 months to learn the basics and then we could work on speed and power. He also told me simply to do cardio on off days bc my conditioning is currently very poor. I’m a little self-conscious but have been told boxing is great for people with ADHD and anxiety so I’m really hoping to give it my all!
When I use to train in MMA the people who I struggled to hit the most were ex boxers. Boxing seems to give the individual reflexes that I dont see in other martial arts
I started boxing training this year in June. It's good exercise, it's fun and it's great for stress relief and blowing off steam. I got into it because I was looking for an alternative way to exercise so I wouldn't get bored with working out (ie the typical gym workouts) on my weight loss journey. Also, because I took martial arts as a kid and wanted to get back into some form of combat training. Boxing, along with the recumbent bike, walking and weight training has helped me drop 100 lbs. Still have a little ways to go to meet my goal but I will get there. Watching your videos Keith, along with Fight Camp and this other dude on YT, have helped me tremendously. Thank you and keep up the good work. You're helping people whether you know it or not!
Thank you very much for the comment Remon! I appreciate the support and this comment definitely made my day! Congratulations on losing 100 lbs that is major!! Keep up the great work and keep me posted on your progress! Let’s go!!! 💪🏾💪🏾💯
@@KeithMooreStrength Thank you good brother! Appreciate the encouragement. I will definitely continue to follow your videos and check back in as I get closer to my goal. Appreciate the work you do...peace and many blessings to you and yours!
@@KeithMooreStrength Peace good brother. Hope all is well with you. Just wanted to give you an update, as promised...at the beginning of my journey, I set a goal of losing 145 lbs. Well, today I officially passed that threshold. As I previously said, your videos have been a huge part of the process. I follow your workouts 2 or 3 times a week. From here, I'm going to set another goal of losing an additional 30 lbs (bringing the total to 175 lbs down)...just wanted to say thank you again! Congratulations on everything you're doing now , I will continue to follow your journey and I wish you well in all your endeavors! Peace and many blessings!
@@remonjohnson7501 WOW this is amazing!!! Thank you for following up and keeping me updated on your journey! This is truly inspiring and motivating. I appreciate your support along the way and I am glad that my videos were able to help you on your journey. Keep up the great work! Thank you for following my journey also, I will continue to work on improving the content and information that I provide. Good luck on your next goal of losing an additional 30lbs. I know you will accomplish this goal with that excellent work ethic and consistency. Peace and blessings to you also!
So thankful for this video, I am new to boxing with the heavy bag 3-4 times a week in the early morning hours. I feel amazing adding this to my regular routine of rowing, and strength training. I am also a drummer so this is great for endurance conditioning on that level. Thanks again for sharing your journey and insight on the best possible conditioning known to man. Cheers!
Hi I'm 58 yrs old and enjoyed boxing back in da 80s when Roberto Duran Marvin Hagler sugar ray leanord and Tommy hearns were popular.. I sometimes go to the park and do push-ups jumping Jack's and squats and I do a Lil shadow boxing even though I never had training just watching boxers in matches. I weigh 225lbs and I wanna get to under 200lbs hopefully by Christmas.. Once I get into a Lil better shape than I am now. I will try to join a self defense class in martial arts for me. I am not trying to be like Ali or Bruce Lee at my age. But I heard Bruce Lee incorporated boxing in his martial art by studying Muhammed Ali in the 60s and loved his style. I hope more people like me and older can do something instead of sitting on park benches and move and learn boxing which is considered a martial art in many fighters eyes or something else which will help them as they get older. Wish me luck I start again on May 26 2024 memorial day weekend. God bless us all. Thank you
That’s amazing you got to see those legends fight in their prime. I’m rooting for you to reach your goal of getting to 200lbs . I agree everyone should incorporate martial arts into their routine especially when they get older so they can stay fit. Please keep me posted on your journey and let me know what martial arts you decide to pursue once you accomplish your weight goal
Keep swingen bro.. wanna wish u and the fam a Merry Christmas and best wishes for the upcoming new year brother.. much love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦 LETS GET IT 🥊😡🥊
I plan to starting boxing soon, only problem is my schedule. Schedule: - Every morning 1 hour of gym - fulltime 9-5 job - part time entrepreneur - planning to box 2 x a week - planning to do thai box and MMA once a week
I wake up at 5:30 a.m. and grab some coffee and then hit the heavy bag at 6 a.m. for one hour. Great benefits, it helps you crush your day. Make sure to take a day off in between, depending on the intensity. Cheers.
Thank you i appreciate that! I eat 1-2 times per day. I have a flexible diet but I do focus on primarily eating Whole Foods and fruits. But if i am craving something like a cheeseburger then I have it
It takes a couple of months to learn the basics of boxing as long as you stay consistent. Now if you are looking to become more advanced with the sport then that will take years of consistency and hard work 💪🏾🥊
@@KeithMooreStrength thanks for replying .if i join a gym as a beginner do u start with just techniques on on how to trow punches properly because i seen videos were there is a lot of cardio training first so im a bit confused
