I took my first boxing class on Sunday and I absolutely loved it. It was the first time I've ever worked out in my life. However, it also made me realize how poor my level of fitness is. I often found myself out of breath during exercises, and now my arms, lats, and obliques are incredibly sore.
Of course I didn't expect to be perfect. I knew there was a strong possibility I might struggle during the workout... I just didn't realize how much I'd struggle. It was definitely a reality check for me.
The good thing is, I realized that I didn't really workout my legs... which gives me the opportunity to work out my legs when my upper body is sore. I can switch between upper body and lower body.
I'm currently 5'5" and 45kg/100lb. So as you can tell, I'm a bit underweight, which I think is part of the problem. My muscle mass is probably smaller than the average person who's 5'5".
My goal is not to get "big" or anything. My goal is to get more fit. Of course I want to put on some muscle mass so that I'm not so skinny, though.
Can you let me know if this proposed "fitness schedule" is okay? I want to alternate every other day between "Day A" and "Day B", but I also want to make sure I'm getting enough weight lifting and cardio in there.
Day A:
- Boxing class, 30 mins
- Dumbbell side bends
- Plate twists
- Overhead pull down
- Seated row
Day B:
- Spin bike, 30 mins
- Squats
- Box jumps
