Greetings everyone.
I know there is a lot of great information on here and I have not gotten a chance to look at all of it, but I am just starting out and would appreciate some straight forward answers about getting into boxing.
I am 26 years old, have been lounging around for the past year studying (and eating like a pig). Was laid off of a labor job last year and since going back into school, I have put on a lot of weight. No excuses. I am not making any. I am ready to move forward.
I am 5'10 and weigh 265 lbs. I have a very wide frame and a very strong upper body. When I was 210, I was in nasty good shape. I am looking to join a boxing gym here in Chicago. Here is what I am looking for:
Lose weight before spending the cash on a boxing gym? (Cardio, hit the weights, etc.)?
I have a membership to a regular gym that has a good amount of weights, treadmills, etc.
Sign up for the gym regardless to immerse myself? I have spoke to a few gym owners and they told me to sign up regardless of my size. They said the weight will come off with hard work.
This is a lifestyle adjustment and discipline that I really want to incorporate into myself.
Any words of advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time!
