I remember my first day, the instructor told me to do these high raises off the ring, 50x while throwing a 1-2 on the way up just to warm me up before my first class.
He said he wanted me tired and worn out before the class started, I didnt understand this, but later on I understood why. Somewhere around the 26th rep my legs started to give and I was already hurting. Then I had to go an hour of a bootcamp, nonstop style boxing session. Needless to say I didnt come back till 2 days after, and I was still sore.
Before this I was working our 3-4 times a week and running an avg of 15-20 miles,. I thought I was in shape.
Boxing is entirely different, Just get through it, your body will adjust and youll appreciate the sport more. The pain will actually start to feel good
