The How to Box 12 week boxing program has had phases 1 and 2 online for quite some time now, but I have not managed to get phases 3 and 4 up. I sincerely apologize for that and don't want to make excuses but here is what I'm up against. First, phases 1 and 2 were generated by a third party program which allowed me to use animated pictures and premade exercise writeups to build the workouts with. I was able to add some customization to it to describe the boxing drills, but even with them, the pictures are not the greatest for demonstrating the technique required for the exercise -- especially when it came to the boxing drills, and the pre-made writeups take something away from the quality I want to achieve. In short, I'm not happy with what I'm providing you especially when I know it can be better
So, rather than continue down that road, I started a search for a better solution. Besides the quality problems, they were charging me $45 a month for those pictures. That coupled with my hosting fees which are $70 a month at the moment push my expenses for this site well over $115 a month. That's a good chunk of change my family does without. I can't complain though, more than one generous reader has donated to keep this site going, and I'm very appreciative of it.
So, the better solution doesn't exist as far as I can tell, so I'm building my own. As you may have noticed, a number of exercises, complete with video demonstrations have started showing up on the site. I like this much better - everything is in house and I can customize as required -- unfortunately it takes about 10 minutes plus filming time to get these up on the site, so it is a slow process.
I have an initial goal of 2000 exercises. I have them all mapped out, just a matter of filming, writing, and inputting them. Assuming filming with editing takes 5 minutes per exercise - I am looking at 15 min per video. Add in the inevitable fudge factor and 20 minutes per video is reasonable. Obviously this equates to 40000 minutes of work = 667 hours = 28 full 24 hour days.
Once those exercises are in the system, trainers and gym owners, and even you, can mix and match them to put together into workouts, and put the workouts together to form training plans. How to Box's 12 week program is heading in this direction and I can assure you that it will be far superior to the current system, which while it works, is kind of cumbersome.
All I need is 40000 minutes of uninterrupted work. Damn the day job. At any rate, How to Box is only 40000 minutes from emerging as an empire in the boxing and fitness scene. I sincerely hope it is going to help you achieve your goals.
