Boxing Strength training is in fact resistance training for boxing. You have to use resistance training to build strength. There is a lot of assumption in boxing gyms about doing exercises for specific body parts to lose body fat. You should not isolate specific body parts to strengthen them. It takes a total program to reduce body fat. You have to create a calorie shortage by dieting and exercising.
Using lighter weights and higher reps will help you to increase muscular endurance but, it does not burn body fat. Using lighter weights and higher reps will help tone your body if you are cutting your calories along with exercise. Lighter weights are great if you don’t have a choice or if they are all you have to work with right now. The goal of your boxing strength training program is strength and power.
Lifting heavy weights with your boxing strength training exercise has benefits for boxers and non boxers in the gym. Building your muscle will raise your metabolism. Muscle is more active than fat. One pound of muscle can burn up to 20 calories a day alone. You should also know that strength training is an injury prevention instrument. Strength training strengthens the ligaments and tendons along with the muscle. It also increases bone density at the sites of muscle insertion (were the muscle attaches to the bone).
You will need to record information everyday concerning the fighter. You will record your observation of the fighter’s mood when they come into the gym. You will need to record the fighter’s weight daily. Get an idea of what the fighter is eating for breakfast lunch and dinner. Record your observation of the fighter’s performance during the workout. Write down your workout regimen everyday. That boxing training regimen will change over time because of your recorded observations. You will be able to modify your training program and build on strengths and weaknesses.
You will eventually use your notebook as a guide for daily upgrades in the training regimen. The notebook will allow you to identify your fighter’s day to day performance based on entries
of past performances. You are going to know based on your fighter’s performance each day what the fighter had for breakfast (for example) because of your notebook entries.You will record your workouts everyday. After the workout you will record your observation of the athlete’s performance.
You can plan the boxing training regimen for the next day based on this day’s performance. You will soon have a record that will tell you how hard to push the athlete. It will tell you when to push or not to push the athlete. Your notebook will help you to design your Boxing strategies because you will stay one step ahead of the fighter based on past performances. Boxing strategy without tactics is the slowest way to victory.Tactics without boxing strategy is the noise before defeat.
How to lose fat and gain lean, athletic muscle with interval training that is guaranteed to get rid of stubborn belly fat.
It's not your fault. You've been lied to. Long, slow, boring cardio is not the best fat loss workout and won't increase your metabolism and have you burning belly fat.

Boxing is a sport that requires extreme physical conditioning. You need anaerobic conditioning which means without oxygen. Sometimes when you are in the ring you get in a situation that you have to throw what seems like one hundred punches. That’s the point were you are throwing so fast and hard that you don’t have time to breath slowly. You really can barely breathe at all. That’s the anaerobic (without oxygen phase of boxing).
There could potentially be a lot of times when you have to throw 10, 15 or more punches at one time. That is the anaerobic zone.
When you throw so many punches that you can barely move you have reached your anaerobic threshold.

How to Perfom Cardio Boxing continued....
In the ring you are either going to be in the anaerobic zone (when you are fighting like a beast) or you will be in the aerobic zone (when you are just moving around in the ring or on the stool in between rounds). You have a threshold for both of those zones. This is where the term sport specific training comes in. If you can throw six,15 punch combinations in a round and then you get tired that is your anaerobic threshold. In between throwing those punches you are moving around in the ring. That’s the aerobic phase of training. Now, when you are doing your 15 punch combinations and you go into the aerobic phase there comes a time when you get tired in that phase. When you start getting tired during the aerobic phase (when you are not busy throwing punches) you have reached your aerobic threshold.
Your boxing strength training program will produce a lot of benefits for you. You will have greater power and speed because of the program. The program will make it easier to develop and increase your aerobic and anaerobic thresholds. Your training programs will have to implement all the attributes of strength training, sport specific training, anaerobic conditioning, aerobic conditioning, skill and technique training as well as understanding the management and promotional side of this sport.
To prevent soreness, you should warm up before your workout and cool down and stretch the muscles you've used after the workout.
