Question
Hey. how much training do i have to do if i'm 14 and i weigh 56kg? I just started boxing and i also need to know what type of diet i should take to stay fit and strong, if you are willing to answer that question.
Hi Matthew, A diet is not really necessary at your age. You are still developing so just let your training do its thing. You will normally get in shape just from the training. I would run 2 or 3 days a week about 2 miles at a time. I would do a boxing workout at least 2 days a week and spend all my time learning skills while I was there. You can do the cardio on your own time. At the end of your workout you should do pushups and situps. When you turn 16 I would consider lifting weights as a supplement to your routine.
good luck

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.
