What’s your choice of activity? Is it hanging out at the gym doing your favorite aerobic workout or indoor climbing activity? Or do you favor the outdoors – a good long run, a brisk hike or maybe a bicycle tour several times a week? Regardless of your activity of choice, it’s likely you’re choosing something that helps you stay fit while having fun at the same time. Personally, my favorite fitness activity involves a healthy combination of the martial arts and weight training. This great fitness program involves activities that tone my body, keep me healthy and maximize my fitness level. Tell me, what’s your activity of choice for maximal health and fitness? Could it be swimming, running, bicycling or maybe boxing fitness? If you’re tenacious about exercise, success is inevitable.
Have you ever considered the benefits of boxing fitness? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, think Tae Bo. This boxing fitness craze helped thrust fitness boxing into the whole fitness limelight. Even though Tae Bo is a type of kickboxing, it still carries many of the qualities that other boxing fitness activities have. I once knew an amateur boxer who used boxing as a form of exercise as well; I learned a great deal about fitness boxing by working with him. He was hooked on the activity and used it to keep fit and trim. He told me about the diligence this type of training required and he reminded me about all the hours those who engaged in boxing spent in the ring each day. He showed me all about the cardiovascular work involved in boxing fitness and I was amazed. Boxing is clearly superior to most of the martial arts activities and programs one can engage in. Fitness boxing is not an ancient art form. If you have doubts, step into the ring at the gym some day and give the activity a try. The sweat on your brow will provide you with all the proof you’ll need that this is an activity worth doing as a fitness activity. There are several ways to approach this activity. Check with a fitness coach for the activities available at your gym.
While you may find that fitness boxing is fun, you probably don’t realize how much this activity gets your body into shape – how you can be toned, cardio-active and fit. All the while, you’ll be learning the fine art of boxing itself. Boxing teaches you self defense techniques that may come in handy some day and is an art form that few today really understand. If you are starting to believe that fitness boxing is the fitness activity for you, check out the various places for this activity that are close to where you live. It could be at the local gym or even at a boxing facility that trains people in boxing as a regular fitness activity. One way of approaching your search is to go online to the Internet and do a search for “boxing fitness”. You may want to add the name of your town to the search to see if any boxing fitness centers are close to you. You’ll hopefully find a place close to home and you’ll find valuable information on how this art form works and why. Even if you have no specific form of fitness currently, you can get into boxing fitness without prior fitness experience. Boxing can help you get into shape and have fun at the same time.

Is it hard getting back into shape after surgery?
i currently have a lean muscular body but i might need surgery on my upper arm. Does it take the same amount of time to get into shape as it did the first time?
I’m sure it does take some hard work but it really depends what is being done to your arm.

Nope. You have muscle-memory now, meaning it’ll be easier and faster to build this time. Doing ALL your PT is very important, and as soon as you’re cleared for more exercise do as much as you can that still feels right. Obviously over-doing it will slow you down when you have to take time off to heal overly sore or pulled muscles.
The speed depends heavily on your natural healing ability, age, and pre-surgery fitness level. My friend and I both went through some stuff this year–her cesarean, my broken pelvis, and for each of us it didn’t take nearly as long to get our mobility and body back as we feared! Pain is another issue, but since you didn’t break yourself I wouldn’t worry about that too much. ^_^
Speedy recovery!

after surgery your body will need time to heal but since you are already healthy that will speed the process.
for arm surgery weight training will be out for a bit. plan maybe a month of cardio and then a month of light workouts getting you back onto your program.

Depending on the surgery, you will need some recovery time. Because of the presumably invasive procedure, your muscles will need to recover before they can be boosted up again.
If you are already fairly fit, it shouldn’t be too terribly difficult to get back into shape as your muscles are already trained to stand physical activity.
Remember to take it slowly for the first few times as you don’t want to strain your muscles too much too soon as you may do some irreparable damage.

No its muscle memory. You will just need to be careful after surgery to not injure yourself by working out too soon after. Then it will just be damaging to your body.
