Bernard Hopkins was featured in the amNewYork paper this morning, as he is gearing up to fight this weekend at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Boxing and in particular fighting require you to be in phenomenal shape, I was in the best shape of my life when I was fighting and I felt physically invincible!
The amNewYork shared Bernard's advice on staying fit ; "If you are disciplined enough, it isn't about how old you are, it is about how old you feel, and the more time you spend taking care of yourself the longer time you have.... Try to do something every day. I don't care if you walk slowly around the block or jog at a fast pace ... just be active and keep trying to be as healthy as possible."
I appreciate this advice - discipline and daily activity are both imperative. Of course, longer more intense activities and exercise will reap better results. But we are not all training to fight, we are training for life, every little bit counts.
