how many of ya'll do this on a regular basis? Like playing another sport regularly on top of your boxing sched. and workout sched.

I seriously think some of you should do it. It would no doubt work different muscles and improve your conditioning.

Who does it?

I take kick boxing lessons and I also play basketball on top of my boxing conditioning and training. Its a great addition to your workout schedule in my opinion.

I build boats and I'm 2 blocks from the bay. :thinking: What kind of exercise can I do, here?

I recently took up rowing. About 2-3 miles, an hour or so, a couple of times a week. Good for the hands, the biceps, and the back.

I also do archery. Which is also good for the hands and the back, as well as concentration.

I do. Not often enough, though. I build small boats for a living but it seems like I'm never out enjoying them. Here's a pic of my wife's father and me, in a skiff we built:

I train different things. Climbing, swimming (last week I swam outside a 100 feet in cold water. Had to break some ice on the water..) Ninjutsu, rock-throwing, rope-pulling against pitbulls...

I try to do everything I think I can't and anything that I shouldn't.
Like the challenges, makes me tougher mentally.

got that right.

i bet alot of the top guys cross train a little bit.

roy jones himself said even he used to play basketball as part of his program. even training for fights, he would play basketball. That's nuts.

Not my boat; we charter it every summer. We're thinking about taking it up to Vancouver Island this year, maybe I'll drop in on Kayo.

I go sailing twice a week after I go to the boxing gym on a Catalina 22. Occasionally I go out on one of the CSULB Shields. Absolutely beautiful boats. They were freshly restored about a year ago.

I don't have a boat myself yet, but I would absolutely kill for a Dragon.

I always hated running and I recently bought a road bike, they have no shocks but hell are they lightweight, fast and fun. To my surprise it is probably harder to bike then to run, and the workout is amazing, your legs go numb when you step off that thing. When the weather warms up again here, my goal is to bike all the way down to the ocean in san francisco.

Once again you put your incredibly disrespectful nature on display for all to see.

Learn some respect. It will do alot for you.

When I started boxing at a young age I played multiple sports. I use to do boxing year around, along with baseball in the summer, football in the fall, and basketball during the winter. I also did wrestling for a little while as well.

Once I hit high school, the football and boxing became to much. I didn't have the grades to play in other sports in school so it became about just boxing.

If you are gonna do another sport, I would do something to help your cardio work out. Basketball, swimming, soccer, running, field hockey, or something along those lines.

Time for some rest. I am up way to late, having a hard time sleeping. Got a fight tommorow. Be back Sunday.
