Question
hello,i was just wondering how much time would be considered a rest? because i don't really want to do nothing for one entire day? and could i consider my time at work a rest period, i work as a dog groomer?
Jesse,
I day off is necessary if you are sparring a lot or going hard before a fight, otherwise your rest at work is probably fine. You could always get a light run in on that day too if it makes you feel funny about not doing anything. But you have to rest if your going hard because you will not perform up to par on your future workouts or fights.
good luck,
Jackson

Experience
I have been in the sport of boxing since 1984. I started as a boxer and advanced quickly. I was lucky enough to have some of the best sparring in the country with 3 top ten pros in my very gym. I am fortunate enough to live near one of the better boxing programs in the country. We have cultivated our facility into the largest Amateur Boxing Gym in the country. In the mid 90's I became a trainer for Golden Gloves. I train amateur and pro fighters. I have worked in many corners at USA and Golden Glove tournaments. I have worked corners in pro bouts on HBO and ESPN cards. My friend, boss and coach is the former President of Golden Gloves and I trained under his tutelage.
