Question
My step son has been boxing for a few months now. He enjoys it very much but would like to loose some weight to be in a lower weight range. He's 11 and 130lbs, goes to the boxing gym 4 times a week for 2 hours. Any suggestion as to diet or type of exercise?

Answer
High repetition exercise is the best.  I recommend a high protein diet and there are many out there including the Atkins diet.  I also have a diet for sale on my website at www.boxingdoneright.com   Remember very little starches and sugars.

Thanks,

Joe
