Hello all, I started training again a month ago. I used to train at home while in college and now I am taking boxing/fitness classes, taking some technique and light sparring. The main problem I am having is the shoes I use to train. I have a pair of running shoes and my feet move inside them, causing me pain. I tend to take them off and continue training with my socks on. I also tend to get plantar fascitis very often. So the question. If I were to get new sneakes what would you recommend, running shoes, cross training or basketball high-tops. I am not ready for boxing shoes. Additionally my shoulders are getting pretty sore and fatigue during the workouts (as if I was lifting weights). After a month I expected them to feel better. Someone recommended taking creatine before workouts. Any suggestions? Thanks, E.

I suggest not taking creatine as you have to take it each day to be effective and can cause you to cramp during workouts. Also pretty much everyone at my gym just uses good fitting runners, no need for bball shoes as i find them too heavy for the workouts. Finally the shoulders are probably caused by tensing them while hitting the bags/sparring, relax and they will not fatigue nearly as much. Hope that helps.

I want to keep fighting because it is the only thing that keeps me out of the hamburger joints. If I don't fight, I'll eat this planet.
