Nishi's Weight Loss Training (Ashita no Joe)

In Ashita no Joe, Nishi is Joe's training partner and the only other member of Danpei's gym. He starts out as an overweight boxer with a mediocre record and a penchant for midnight snacking. However, over time, he gets into the grind and really pushes himself, dropping weight and getting into a much better weight class, where he is able to shine. This workout is based on the training that we see Nishi do to drop weight.

"You mean I can't eat two bowls of udon at midnight and lose weight?!"


Nishi's Weight Loss Training

Do all three exercises in any order:

  1. Jump Rope- 30 Minutes
  2. Running- 30 Minutes
  3. Shadowboxing- 30 Minutes

Notes:
  • This is a very simple workout, but it will really push your endurance. 
  • The good thing about this workout is that you can change it around to work yourself differently. Shadowboxing is a different experience after jumping rope and running, the same as pushing your run after the rope jumping and shadowboxing.
  • If you are out of shape, you can walk or do walk/jog intervals during the run and take short breaks in the jump rope and shadowboxing sessions. 

That's all for today! Until next time, good luck and train hard!

Nice workout I love how the Joe workouts are always but still effective.

A while ago you mentioned doing something like personal character based training on your tumbler any news on that?

Lastly I'd like to recommend some manga you might find some training in.
Buyuden,Green Boy and Hakaiou Noritaka. The first two are boxing based and the third is mostly based on Muay Thai

Thanks so much! Good luck in your weight loss. I actually did something very similar to what you're talking about to make weight for my first fight.
