Question
I just purchased a heavy bag and some gloves. I've always wanted to pursue the boxing sport and I now have the opportunity to do so.
Currently, I'm in not the greatest shape. Any advice on how to approach boxing, what kinds of workouts I should do, etc.?
Thanks
My first suggestion is to find a trainer so you can learn the proper way. If you need a trainer in your area go to www.boxinggyms.com and click on your area. If you want you can purchase videos on how to box. I have these for sale on my website at www.boxingdoneright.com and click on the online store. Without a trainer or some instruction you could pickup some bad habits.
Thanks, I hope this helps.
