How much should you rest?

[the_brap_burglar]

Loving the game so much that I think I might be overdoing it a bit, not sure how many rest days I should have, how much rest I should get between fights, rounds, etc, if anyone has any good tips?

You need to manage your metrics, even just in your head, about how successful your last workout was, in your goal, to perform better your next training day.

If you are not making the cut for a daily boxer, don't box daily! Never Train A Muscle Group That Is Actively Healing! Supplement in your workouts, never settle for compensating. Enjoy one or two training activities in between each match-up and being your focus to your discipline. Boxing Is A Known Discipline and there are lots of practical day-to-day benefits to boxing- If you want to be a daily boxer man this is a great addition to the training regimen. Use All Of The Balls! Ok, then either online or in person, get lessons from a certified instructor. I learned my best with a disc just collecting dust, but if I popped that disk into the DVD player and played the Boxing Fundamentals 1 on 1 Instructional Video with Freddie Roach, I Could Load That Puppy In And Catch Up Real Quick.

If you're sore. Take a day off, maybe 2. Its difficult early on because its quite addicting but you'll adjust and be able to do it every day at some point. Definitely 30 to 60 seconds between rounds.

I started doing yoga just cause my body would be too sore. I recommend it.

I started playing this about a month ago. Right now I do three/four days each day for an hour, then rest up for a day or two ( changing to running so my arms can rest ), and repeating this pattern.

Depends are you doing 12 rounds 3 minutes with strictly only 1 minute breaks in between? It you're already doing cardio equivalent to training for a half marathon or more, you'll probably be fine.

But if you're typically sedentary, I would recommend a progressive approach. At first do maybe 3-4 rounds against one of the earlier opponents on normal difficulty with 2 minute breaks that's 20 minutes in total of what is considered High Intensity Interval Training for you. Do that for a week or two. In the second week maybe do actual shadow boxing where you work on combos, ducking and pivoting with the mirror. That way you can build some muscle memory to take into the following weeks. By week 3 you're likely feeling more energetic and can handle shorter and shorter breaks probably 5 rounds with 1.5 minute breaks. Perhaps go up on the difficulty as you probably eventually know the tendencies of the early opponents. Eventually week by week you decrease your break time and increase 1 round each week.

TOTF is great for casual cardio, but I would recommend adding other sorts of exercises. Whatever you enjoy, weiightlifting, jogging, other forms of HIIT. Who knows maybe you can actually take some lessons at a local boxing gym and start your own daily training routine.

I have around 90 hours in-game fights ( meaning I start playing right away ), one thing I learned is that you really need to warm up for 15 minutes at least and then depending of the level of fighter how many rounds, ex: Vs champ in unrealistic mode: 2 fights of 5 rounds each. Always wait for the 60 seconds between rounds to breath correctly to lower your BPMs ( Beats Per Minute, a smartwatch helps a lot ) . sometimes I'm on the 170s at the end of the rounds and I start breathing to slow my heart rate and i can go down to 140 - 145 by the end of the 60 seconds. when done , cooldown stretching your body ( watch videos online ) and a sports drink or eletrolyte powders helps recover really good to avoid cramps or even injuries.
