Ive just started boxing. Im pretty fit already but as I have never boxed im feeling aches in areas I dont usually. When Im boxing (training, like shadow boxing and hitting the bag etc) my left lead arm shoulder really aches and burns. Is this due to not being used to holding my guard up and using that specific type of muscle? Thanks

Yeah, strong back muscles (upper and lower) are the mark of a truly strong athlete. Interestingly, there are a lot of muscles in the lower back that you can't really feel. They're the spinal-stabilization muscles. And even if you can't feel them working, they're essential to keeping your lumbar spine injury-free. This weight lifting belts article explains how lower-back injuries sometimes occur because novice athletes overwork the spinal stabilization muscles early in training.

i agree on the part of lower back muscles.. Even though i play hockey(which trans the lower back) , i still experience sore lower back muscles . So those who dont usually do any form of sports that trains your back… start slow

I’ve had the sore knuckles before, but just on the left pinky knuckle. More of a ‘twinge’ than real pain, but am investing in some quality gloves for my bag training from now on. As you mention strengthening your core muscles are very important. Don’t neglect to strengthen your lower back muscles.
