That's not bad. Troops are expected to be able to do 2400m in 10.30, though often the Colonel will insist that they can do it in less. 10 min or even 9.30.
If you're over 30, it's a very respectable time.

I'm a keen boxer and I don't do it purely for fitness or weight loss, I'm off meat and eggs at the moment plus zero dairy, only fish and vegetables - I go boxing straight after work most of the time for about 2 hours of horrendous training and sparring, like I said I'm keen, because i want to take it very seriously, meaning I want to make money from it. So work and boxing are kinda equal to me, I use the gym down stairs for mostly squats/deadlifts don't feel painful next day rarly anyway just need a good stretch before you start skimming, after about 2-3 weeks the pain kinda goes mostly - on the other hand doing biceps is a killer for Plastering the next day.
I'd feel more pain, if I was a blob that couldnt protect himself against anything that offers you out in the big bad world

You fight bums in the pros and not a lot of money it in at starter level. Train hard fight better opponent , learn then go pro and make some real money - not just enough so cover a bit of scran for a few weeks training if that
You have to be a massive ticket seller in the pro’s nowadays. All the ones I know work full time and struggle to get sponsorship. The only one down here who doesn’t is Eubank Jnr and he’s always had TV/ SKY backing. Fighters like that are few and far between. You’re better off still working and putting money from your purses in property. That’s assuming you progress that far. Good luck with it all, it’s great to have boxed anyway.

It’s the best way to keep fit. I still train twice a week myself ( I’m nearly 57) and coach at the club 3 times a week. Youngest son boxes for the club too. Rather than be a boxing widow my is now the club secretary !Use to love the training at the boxing club... use to make me feel sick it was that hard

Managed 5k in 17 minutes........after, after........a 10k on the static bike....tadah!Try 10,000 metres in 40 mins. That’ll turn your stomach

Daren't do dead lifts with my glass back .just started squats . Best way for my body shape to train apparently is doing low reps high weight but to much at moment . Having bit of pain with right shoulderThrow in some heavy deadlifts and squats for a massive testosterone spike

Me too. Find shoulder presses tough with hammering the shoulder every day. Never gets a rest.

Back's important, man. Some say that for every chest exercise you do, you should do two back. Doesn't have to be humungous dead lifts. Upright rows, pull ups, any pulling exercise at all, or you'll end up a funny shape.
If you go light though, it won't make you look very much different anyway unless you're on a weight loss diet as well.

Doctor said avoid heavy squats and extremely heavy weights when you are straining. I’m good other than that, keep my reps around 10 per set so I’m not overdoing the weight. For me it’s the mental boost of getting in the gym and obviously the physical benefits aswell. Just got to get on with my life to the best of my ability and carry on as normal. The only thing I have noticed is if I overdo it my mood plummets big time, so just got to be aware of that and keep a balanced lifestyle. Probably just sit at home tonight with the heating on and read a book.Haven’t you got to go easy? Don’t overdo it

Please don't say its a book on plastering
Another swift 15k on the static bike last night...........then a quick go around all the cable machines........a full body blow out.........sauna, then home for a meal.......
I’ve been going to the gym three times a week for a while now. Upshot...feel better, fitter, wheigh a little less but eat more! deadlifts help the back everything else helps everything else.
For killer weight exercises for arms, do a reclined dumbbell press.....start with a heavy but manageable weight....do as many reps as poss ( let’s say 6)....immediately drop a little weight and go again for double the reps (12)....drop a little more weight....double the reps again!...if you can, drop a little more and.....well you get the picture... try this system for any excersise you like.
It burns!
