Next week I should start training to learn how to box. I really want to lose weight and become more agile. I weigh 252 now and would like to get down to 230 or 225. Should I do that or just focus on maintaining my current weight and change the fat to muscle.

Eat right, train hard, and let your body do what it's going to do. Most of the really good boxers at my gym do not have bodybuilder physiques.
In fact, only one of them does. -
Boxing won't necessarily make you look like MR. Olympia. "But it will put you in a shape you could whoop Mr. Olympia's ass. Get in there train hard. When you feel like you can't, or It's too hard. Dig in and go farther. Once you get your body using stored fat. Boxing will melt it off, you will ike how you look and feel.Comment

Give it a good 6 months try hard and I mean real hard. You will be a different person completely. But nothing happens overnight.Comment

Focus on learning the skills they will teach you. If they are training you right, then they will push your fitness to the maximum. They won't stop untill you are exhausted.
If you eat healthily with this - (you don't even have to diet...) i.e junk food and beers on rare occasions and eat light and conscious of what your inputting into your body whilst in training. Your physique will change... in the first month it could change rapidly. Do not worry - you'll lose weight, if you eat right and train hard.
Hope you enjoy learning to boxComment

That pretty much sums it up.Originally posted by mickeyb View Post
Oh and to topic starter, don't worry about "Changing fat to muscle" just take Fraidy's post into consideration. Let your body do what it does.
First off......there's genetics. Be happy with who you are, because some people were born looking like Mr. Olympia and don't have to do a god damn thing to maintain that kind of physique.
Doesn't mean they can fight, doesn't mean they're strong, and it sure as hell doesn't mean they can box. Bulky muscles are the enemy of boxing......you need a lean physique with long, loose muscles.

Cong**** brother! You have the first ingredient...MOTIVATION!Originally posted by boxingfan4life View Post
You didn't mention how tall you are, but at 252lbs, if you're not at least 5'10, from this moment on, you gotta discipline yourself. That means NO MORE donuts, soda, Mikey D's, etc, and your body will start to burn fat AFTER you've spent some energy. Then the body automatically goes to it's "stored fats", or "Complex-Carbohydrates". In other words do strenuous work outs FIRST! After about 30-40 minutes of strenuous activity, THEN will you begin to burn calories/fat!
So save the cardio for LAST! Not before, you'll only be using your enegry, but not burn fat, and wearout faster.
Now that you have the motivation...stay the coarse. It will get worse before it gets better. Take your body PAST your comfort zone.

Just over 6 months' work, the first 6 months I was boxing. More bodyshaping than bodybuilding, but you can see how much fat melted off me. The major thing did was cut out sugar and start running every day. Well, I started walking -- then walking stairs, then jogging, then running.Comment
