Question
hi my name is tamika and i am wanting to take up female boxing. my thoughts at the moment is not to compete but to see how i like it and get fit and see where that goes. i was wondering on what the best methods are to drop my weight and get my fitness level up. what should i and shouldn't i be eating while in training. i haven't yet joined a gym or anything i thought it best if i try to get myself in shape before hand.
thanks heaps tamika
I am a big advocate of the high protein diet for boxers as it keeps the muscle tissue repaired. I have a diet that works well on my website at www.boxingdoneright.com You can purchase this diet or there are many other great high protein diets.
Thanks,
Joe
