ok, so I used to run long distance and play soccer in college and have since transfered schools and gotten pretty out of shape. Now I've decided to give boxing/MMA a shot. (I'm thinking that my running endurance will carry over and my footskills and quickness from soccer could too.)
Male
6'0"
165 (hoping to drop to 145-150 for competition)
Here's what I'm looking at for a "pre-boxing/MMA" training (before I look for a boxing trainer/gym)
M: circuits*
T: sprinting (100m, 200m, 400m, 200m, 100m...x2)
W: circuits*
Th: rest
F: circuits*
Sat: fartleks (spelling)...2 mile run, sprint 100m, jog 200m
Sun: rest
*25 burpees, 25 crunches, 15 pull/chinups, 25 crunches, 25 squats, 25 crunches, 10 dips (do that x3 and rest 1-2 min between each circuit) --- these are just numbers thrown out there and I'll adjust them as I do them.
with a morning/night run of 2 miles in 18 min (what i can do now, dropping the time down about 10 sec each day until I get down to about 12 min for 2 miles)
Dieting...I'm terrible with this cuz I eat pizza hut about 3-4 times a week (I work there part time and free food tastes best!)...so I'm gonna need help with this.
9- eggs and raisin brand or mini-wheat cereal (something with tons of carbs for the day)
12- salad
3- fruit (banana, orange, apple...something like that)
6- potatoes and meat (red meat 2-3 times a week and white meat the other days)
9- yogurt
That's a REALLY long read, so I apologize if anyone actually reads all of this and helps me cuz it's going to take a little while...I thought this was better than just asking "Hey, what's a good training/diet schedule for somebody to do before they join a boxing/MMA gym?"
Anyways, if you guys will take the time, please help me out and voice your opinion.
