    tabata sprints daily

    I already train for several hours each day, but as you'd expect not all of this is high intensity training. I am going to start a mixture of tabata sprints (30sec/10secx8) and (2min/1minx8) but I'm trying to work out the frequency. If I am already training as much as I am, is there a problem with doing these daily or twice daily? I will mix up the methods eg. sometimes run, othertimes bodyweight or shaddow

    thats would be fine i guess, but dont you ever break for the year lol, i get a month off training now which is pretty good

    and doesnt it piss you off training sp much when you dont have a fight planned, that would drive me nuts ever since i started fighting ive always found it hard to get motivated if i dont have a fight set up in the next month or so or at least a chance of one set up...like now i dont think i could go into the gym and train , knowing i dont have a fight for at least 2-3 months while we are having a break

        My gym doesn't close! I am going away for a month though and during that time I'm going train for the same period of time daily, but focus more on conditioning and strength rather than boxing skills.

        I can't stop training, I just can't. Maybe a day off once a month if that, but I enjoy it too much!

        I started boxing with long term goals rather than short term ones (preparing for a fight), so if I take time off I'll just be going backwards lol.

          you can do them with most exercises (running, burpees etc) but the idea is that you sprint at full speed for 20sec and rest for 10sec and repeat this 8 times which totals 4 min. You should warm up and cool down for 5min at either end.

                It is pretty much the same but the ratio of work to rest is different and this has been scientifically proven to be good or something :-)

                I want to mix it up and do HIIT training with the tabeta sprints.

                    This might help. It makes sense to mix it up to me because in a boxing round, of 3minutes, you can't predict what your work rate will be like. In 2/3min intervals you run/work consistently for that time, but in a fight you may have a series of 10/20sec bursts spread out over that time. I'm not a scientist, so I'm happy for correction, just thinking out loud really. It just makes sense to me to mix it up.
