Boxers, fighters... is there a workout for this?

I don't think there is such a thing as getting a stronger chin because it's not your chin but your brain rattling around in your head. \nI've had alot of concussion's from fighting and playing football but never lost a fight because of it, just don't remember it. \nMy friends would tell me about the fight a few days afterwards, I didn't like being like that though because I could control myself normally but not when I had a concussion so I was scared I'd kill someone.

Find a buddy to work out with. And if you like competing, it can be with anyone  whether or not they are with you or not.\n\nHave you tried Yourself!Fitness? It is for Windows, Xbox, and PS2. It is customized routine that is based on what you can do. It features Yoga for cool down too. The Virtual Trainer likes to try motivate you and keep you coming back day after day.\n\nYou could try just roller blading or jump rope. Two very easy ones. Boxers use the latter to stay in shape and it is a good cardio exercise.\n\nBut most of all,  get a buddy to join you.

YES! Keep your chin tucked in, gloves up, slip that jab! Also - NO kind of SEX in the days before that fight. You will need that strength and an orgasm takes a lot out of you. No alcohol before the fight or smoking at all. As far as weight- eat more burgers, potatoes. Find what makes YOUR body gain weight. Bread and anything starchy makes ME gain weight. Carbs is my weight gain. Some people gain from fats.  Know what yours is and eat those foods, especially when not burning them off! Keep a clear mind before the fight and avoid any drama clogging up your mind. Slip that jab and watch for those punches. Sometimes you can dodge them and then hit him while he's open. I LOVE boxing! Good luck to you!!  Love to know how you make out with it!

Why do you keep asking the same question? I don't box. I just spar with my husband sometimes. It's great exercise and it helps me appreciate actual boxers more because it takes so much skill and dedication. Hit you up for some cash? Sure, give me twenty bucks.

Go to the gym ask boxers there about training. Search the web for tips and sites that will help you get started or improve in areas you need to. Also, find a good sparring partner.

Like someone else said, aerobic conditioning is critical to any combat sport like muay thai or boxing. You could jump rope, jog, swim, etc to build up your aerobic conditioning. Also, you could do things like push ups and light weightlifting to build up you upper body strength. You could do weight exercises to build up your leg strength also. I've heard that muay thai fighters also do a great deal of abdominal training so you could start doing lots of crunches and other ab workouts for your stomach. Core strength is important for alot of reasons, but if you plan to eventually spar it will be even more important. Getting hit in the gut hurts (regardless of the sport) and having a strong midsection will help with being able to handle punches, kicks, knees, and the like.\n\nGood Luck!

A healthy mix of Boxing and Street Fighting combined..\nI mean kickboxing and all that martial arts stuff is cute but if someone is in the middle of trying to kick you in the head and you dodge it they're pretty exposed standing on one leg while the other is in the air.

Most street fighters swing wildly, which doesn't work against a trained fighter. Learn basic boxing skills because a boxer will KO a brawler almost every time.

You need to find a boxing gym in your area. Try looking through the list on the link below. Any good trainer will show you the basics and get you started on a regular program. \n\nAnd watch Ricardo Lopez fights. He was a near perfect textbook fighter. :)

To be perfectly honest with you, the best way to do boxing at home, is to not do boxing at home. There's all kinds of reasons for this, but I will give you only a couple. I'm writing to you about this with over 33 years of experience and many failed attempts of "Boxing at home"\n\n   There's the little mistakes that you pick up while you're training at home, dropping your hand as you throw your jab, not shooting your jab straight out, not pivoting on your foot properly when throwing the left hook, stepping straight back with your head up in the air, cat-pawing when you start to get tired. These are the most common of mistakes that everyone starting out training at home does, maybe not all of them but definitely some of them.\n\n  Then there's the fact that you're not around the gym atmosphere\nthe smell of a boxing gym. The subconscious telling you to push yourself harder than the guy hitting the bag next to you. The fact that your being watched by guys/girls who know what they're doing and you want to show that you belong. The fact that the noises that come from a gym give you a rush unlike anything you've ever experienced.\n\n   The money you spend on a "Home Gym" will be a complete waste, how many times have you bought something you had to have and six months later you thought what a waste? Spend your money on a Gym membership or Gym dues, stay away from Health Clubs like Ballys, Golds Gym, World Gym and countless others who know absolutely nothing about boxing except Rocky's coming out on Christmas.\n\n  I understand your position completely, to just stay in shape get yourself a freestanding bag, it's a great way to stay in shape. It's next to impossible to get into the shape you have to be in to actually compete at home, for all the above mentioned reasons and then some.\n\n  Good luck.

You might try looking at one of the gyms listed below to see if they have what you want:\nhttp://www.nbsgym.com/boxing.html\nhttp://www.triangleboxing.com/kids_training.htm

As a former fighter myself, I should tell you that your fiance better be good or he will pay they price.  The only way to find such an event is by word of mouth, usually bars and other "manly" places.\nYou may even have to bribe some people.\nGood luck,

You're going about this the wrong way.  Everyone is different -- the workout for one person may be entirely the wrong approach for another.  If you want the best results for your efforts, schedule a few sessions with a personal trainer and consult with a dietician.  Many gyms offer these services for free for new members, or at a nominal cost for regular members.  \n\nAlso, don't look up to movie stars like Tom Cruise as a role model for physical fitness.  Too many people are ruining their psyche trying to look like movie stars who have a) hordes of cash to spend on full-time trainers, b) someone to cook their special meals, and c) workouts that are part of their JOB.  For the rest of us, it's the real world.

I feel all martial arts have something to offer. In a realistic street fight you have to know have to fight from all ranges. I cross train in Judo and Brazilian Jujitsu. I also spar with my buddies who take muai thai. In my opinion you have to cross train to be ready for all situations.

You have great numbers, you should at least go to 125 but you are fine the way you are.  As far as ideas go, the ball exercises are very good for your abs.  I do lots of cardio (boxing, running, etc.) and I "shoeshine" for 10 to 30 minutes straight (shoeshine is where you throw fast punches similar to small uppercuts).  Try running and also drink water instead of soda (100% juice is great too, especially if it is non concentrate juice).  But first and foremost you gotta be motivated.  Good luck luv.
