In terms of nutrition we have a window of opportunity approximately 30 minutes after intense exercise where the body is like a sponge.
The body will optimize its ability to replenish energy stores in muscles and glycogen. In addition protein synthesis for muscle tissue recovery and repair is maximized during this period.
During this 30 minutes post workout period is when we need to feed our body’s to get optimum results and recovery. We need to eat a specific quantity and quality of foods.
Carbohydrates, we need to consume at least 50grams and preferably High Glycemic carbohydrates, as they are absorbed faster.
Protein consumed will provide amino acids building blocks for muscle synthesis & repair. We only need 20grams of protein.
We also need to replace all the fluids we lost during the training session by consuming enough water after training. Weigh yourself before & after training to calculate how much water you need to replace.
Not having a post workout recovery plan can be detrimental to your training and recovery!
This is a very simplified explanation of nutrition recovery.

Don’t be the person everyone avoids in the class because you hold the pads like a monkey. Learn how to hold the pads properly and practice at home. You will be everyone’s favorite training buddy. Holding the pad’s correctly is safer and beneficial to both parties.
1. Hold the pad’s at your partners face height – Remember you are trying to mimic an opponent. For uppercuts hold at their chin height.
2. Hold the pads close together – You are trying to mimic an opponent’s head. No one’s head is 1m wide.
3. Give the pads resistance – Catching the punches is tricky, you want to hold the pads still but give resistance by sharply pushing the pads forward 1inch into the punch. Don’t shorten your partner’s punches by catching them too far out in front.
4. Give your partner feedback – Don’t be shy to help your partner out, remind them to use their legs, rotate hips and shoulders, hands up, turn punches over, and to punch higher or lower if need be.
5. Stand in your boxing stance – This gives you a good balance and also mimics catching punches in a real fights.
6. Stay strong but remained relaxed in the arms.
7. If your partner is new tell them to take their time and slow it down.
