  • Nutrition: Prioritize protein (chicken, eggs, whey), complex carbs (oats, rice), healthy fats
  • Hydration: 2.5–3L water/day
  • Mobility: Spend 10 min/day stretching (especially shoulders, hips, thoracic spine)
  • Mental Training: Visualize combinations, footwork, and fight scenarios

βœ… Summary: Your 2-Day Weekly Schedule

MondayPower/Strength (Week A) OR Explosive/Core (Week B)
TuesdayBoxing Endurance (Week A) OR Fight MetCon (Week B)
Wed–SunFull rest / light stretching / recovery

πŸ” Alternate Week A ↔ Week B each week for balanced development.

And your primary goal is building boxing stamina (endurance) β€” the ability to throw sharp, powerful combinations round after round without gassing out.
