Okay for a while i have been doing this exercise and its going very well:

Wake up 5am and run for 4 miles
Do 5 sets of 15 push ups
Do 2 sets of 50 crunchies
Do 2 sets of 50 sit ups
Do 2 sets of 25 side raises
Do 2 sets of 25 side bends
Skipping for 20 minutes
Heavy bag 5 x 2 minute rounds
10 minutes on the speedbag

I live in scotland and have been pumping myself ready to join a boxing gym for a while and now i,m ready. But when i look i find that there are no boxing gyms in scotland only boxing clubs which are only open about 3 times a week for 2 hours each night with a trainer and the club looks like it full of ******* to be honest. What i,m asking is should i join and hope to get my boxing love started or advertise for a private trainer which will cost more.

If the club is more of a fitness center, get a private trainer.

I found another club which is about 20 minutes train ride away and there around my age and all of them are undefeated with 22 wins and stuff. I,m a beginer and unsure if this club is the one for me.

I,m not giving boxing clubs a bad rep i,m just saying that i would prefer to go into a gym like america and get my own personal trainer nd be able to train for more than 2 hours without moaning 10 year olds.

If there's no sweat, stains, blood on the canvas of the ring and the place smells good and sweet, it's not a good gym :p
