How to Stick with My FightCamp Training Regimen

So you want to make a change and get started boxing with FightCamp. Congratulations! Now, let’s talk about how to make the most of your FightCamp subscription by developing healthy workout habits that will be sustainable, successful, and rewarding. 

7 Tips for Keeping Your FightCamp Routine Going

Start Slow

When starting to box, or returning to boxing after some time off, don’t expect to be able to dive into 10-round high-intensity boxing workouts right away. Spend time exploring the workouts available in the FightCamp app and sketch out a workout schedule that includes which ones you want to try first. If the heavy bag and roundhouse kicks seem intimidating, start with a shadowboxing workout or bodyweight routine in the app. FightCamp offers the convenience of getting a phenomenal workout without leaving home or wherever you may be traveling – all the gear, instruction, and motivation you need are there whenever you need it.

Honor Rest Days

Rest is not a reward. It’s a physical and mental imperative. Rest is vital for good mental health, sharper concentration and memory, stress reduction, and a healthy mood, immune system, and metabolism. In terms of training, rest allows your body to recover, and it helps prevent injuries. Boxing and kickboxing workouts with FightCamp are high-intensity cardio workouts, so when you first start working out with FightCamp, aim for 30% of your week to rest. A good recovery day still involves movement of some kind—a walk, swimming, or stretching. 

Cultivate Discipline Over Motivation

Feeling motivated to work out is fun–but the inherent challenge with motivation is that it’s the culmination of multiple driving forces: biological, emotional, social, and cognitive forces that trigger human behavior. And all of these forces are subject to change and fluctuate as our environment and needs evolve. 

Motivation is pretty much out of your control because it ends up being something you wait for. But discipline is something you can develop and draw upon when your motivation wavers. Your brain will tell you that you don’t want to work out, and you need to defy your brain. Do the opposite of what your brain tells you. It will say “you can work out tomorrow,” and so you go work out immediately. Build the habit and practice discipline and it will become second nature. 

Track Your Workouts

Data is everything! Tracking your workouts will allow you to visualize your progress and see how much closer you’re getting to your goals. FightCamp’s Punch Trackers are integral to the FightCamp boxing and kickboxing workouts. They slip right into your hand wraps and track and analyze your output for you, giving you a big dose of satisfaction. It also sparks self-competition, which can be an addicting motivator. 

Establish A Minimum Baseline

Building new habits and sticking with them will be easier if you don’t over-promise yourself. If you jump into a 5-day exercise schedule, you’ll either a) burn out, b) injure yourself, or c) both. Set yourself up for fitness success by committing to two twenty-minute boxing sessions per week, then build up from there by breaking it into monthly targets. 

Here’s an example of how you might build your FightCamp workout schedule:

Month 1

• Mondays: 4- Round Pure Striking Workout

• Wednesdays: 6-Round Full Body Workout

Month 2

• Mondays: 4- Round Pure Striking Workout 

• Wednesdays: 6-Round Full Body Workout

• Fridays: 6-Round Lower Body Workout

Month 3

• Mondays: 4- Round Pure Striking Workout 

• Tuesdays: 6-Round Full Body Workout 

• Wednesdays: 10-Round Switch Stance Workout

• Fridays: 6-Round Lower Body Workout

Find A Trainer Who Fits Your Workout Style

Instructor-led boxing workouts are not one-size-fits-all. That’s why FightCamp workouts are led by our team of trainers who bring diverse experience and diverse personalities to the ring. Some FightCamp boxers find their favorite trainer and stick with them, while others pick a different trainer every day, depending on their mood and what kind of energy they need to crush their workout. 

Reward Your Efforts

Meeting the goals you set for yourself deserves celebration because it shows that you are committed to building good workout habits and developing a long-term boxing routine. Rewarding yourself for your progress adds value to the work you’re doing. Just be careful not to reward yourself in ways you’ll regret later. This might mean booking a massage instead of eating a pint of ice cream. But ultimately, how you reward yourself should feel meaningful and enjoyable to you. 

With FightCamp’s data-driven fitness approach, boxing community platform, and diverse coaching team, you’ll discover not only unparalleled boxing workout motivation but a system that converts that motivation into accountability and discipline. We promise that on days you don’t box, you’ll wish you did. And on days you do, you’ll feel like you can do anything. 

Your decision today can lead to big changes down the line. Become part of the FightCamp community and have a team supporting you every punch of the way!
