Will this help me lose weight?

It helps. More to the point, it is the kind of training people keep doing, and nobody quits learning to fight out of boredom the way they quit a treadmill in February.

Now the honest part. What you eat does most of the work. You cannot out-train a bad week of food and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. I am a coach, not a dietician. No meal plan, no number, no date.

What the training does is build the habit. You show up, you work hard, you get better at something, and that tends to pull the rest of your week straight behind it. People here sleep better and eat better because they are training toward something instead of punishing themselves over a photo. One member at this gym lost over fifty pounds doing exactly that, slowly, by turning up. See where to start.

Striking is the part most people find they can do for an hour without noticing. Three minute rounds on the pads put your heart rate where a treadmill only gets it if you are thoroughly miserable, and you are too busy thinking about your feet to watch a clock. See training striking purely for fitness. The conditioning end of it is FightFit, which is circuits built out of fight training instead of machines: see what you can train.

Frequency does more than intensity here. Two steady hours a week for six months changes more than four brutal weeks followed by nothing, and it is the version people can actually keep. See how often you should train.

If you have a medical reason to lose weight, a condition, or you want a real eating plan, see a doctor or a dietician first. Then tell me what they said and I will build the training around it.
