Alright, what kind of workout do you do everyday? If you are trying to lose weight, basically you have to make sure you are putting fewer calories into your body than you are using in a day. It's simple math. Ignore all the other crap you've ever heard, if you take in more calories than you use, it will be stored as fat. Period, end of story.

So:

1. Stop eating shit. Quit, cold turkey. If you really have the desire then stop making excuses and just stop putting junk food in your mouth. Every time you pick something up to eat, take a second and ask yourself if that hoho or twinkie or pop is going to help you reach your goal or not. You have a choice, make the right one, and if you don't live with it and move on. Life is all about choices. As long as you make the right choice 51% of the time, you will eventually win the game.

2. Strength training is beneficial as it builds muscle which burns fat and increases your metabolism. You should be doing some form of strength training/weight training.

3. Cardio will help you lose weight faster because it burns calories. Remember what I said above, it's all about calories in and calories out. Obviously if you are burning more, you will eventually lose weight. Cardio is immensely important in boxing as well so start running.

Did I mention that boxing is all of these things. Not only is it a great strength workout - pushups/abwork/heavy bag, but it burns a shitload of calories - 900-1200 per workout. But I didn't have to tell you that...

Long story short, just by eating right and working out more days than not, you will soon see a vast improvement in physique and overall fitness. If you don't believe me, ask any of my soldiers. Biggest thing is to get over the mental block of "Oh it's soooo hard to eat right" or "it's soooo hard to workout everyday." Those are excuses and they hold no weight with me. Cheers.

I've read that, a really good way to lose weight would be to train non-stop for a certain amount of time. Say, start of with stretching, then for 3mins, U do skipping (jump rope), take a 15sec break, then you go onto jogging (or anything similar) for another 5-10mins, then another 15sec break, then try climbing up and down stairs. And then finally relax. So you basically tire yourself out for 15mins non-stop, it supposedly really good cardio.

I have'nt tried these things properly, but it makes sense to me. Oh and another thing, sometimes, what people do, actually myself, after a workout I tend to eat a lot. Sometimes it helps to eat slowly, and consciously of how much, and what you are eating. Cheers.

Love the post mr admin!

The facts are simple put less calories in your mouth than you use during your workouts.
If you can get on a running/rowing machine or bike with a calorie counter, do a 30 minute workout and see how many calories you use. This should give you a good idea of how many calories you use during a workout.

My training weight is around 72kgs, for my first fight I had to be 70kgs. It was hard to do because I'd been training for some months and had stayed at 72kgs no matter what I did but with a week of training hard and eating correctly the weight came off and I made my exact weight.

You either want to do it or you don't - make you mind up!

HOw exactly do you lift weights for boxing?

Knockout789:  Besides the very reliable advice to watch calories and increase cardio/strength excercise, to get the "love-handles" you could do side bridges. Side bridges: Start by laying on your right side and propping yourself up on your right forearm. If done properly your forearm should be perpendicular to your shoulder. Now, keeping your legs together (the right leg should be just about flush with the floor) lift at your hips. This will raise your right leg and right side of the body off the ground, the highest point from the floor should be your left hip. If done correctly, you'll look something like an inverted V. Do 20-30 reps. Repeat on the left. This excercise will strengthen the sides of the abs and the obliques, but really, like the Admin says: focus on weight-loss.

Kitjiggaman: Run, run, run, and do your basics. Even if you don't have that much time. Go for a 30min run in the morning before work/school. Then, in the evenings worry about training. Spar, hit the bags, etc... Consistency and dedication, at this point, matter much more than any specific regimen.
