So after nearly four weeks of being deathly ill, I'm finally starting back in the gym as of tomorrow.

Can't really do any boxing training, though, simply because getting to THAT gym takes like an hour, and I don't currently have that kind of time. So instead, just going to the gym consistently is the goal.

I've sort of been torn by the delineation between boxing and wrestling, just because effective training for both is so different. I opted for boxing because it's much easier to train alone, but I don't know that any of it is really helpful for submission/BJJ stuff. I've been looking into stuff to improve my flexibility, but I feel like I'm doing a ridiculous amount of guesswork.

In the interim, I've at least attempted to set something of a schedule for getting back after having nearly two months off. I need to be extra careful about stuff like staying hydrated and eating properly though, so that's really the primary concern. In the gym though, my current schedule is going to last about three weeks. No cardio just yet, but that's definitely in the works, even if it's just heavy bag work for a couple dozen rounds a week.

Eventually I'll probably post what workouts I've actually been doing; I'd like to do a better job of actually documenting it because, honestly, I'll forget if I don't and stand around the gym for 20 minutes trying to figure out what to work on next.
