I'm 19 years old 5'10 220lbs (yeah a fatboy). I live in southern California and the nearest boxing gym to me is Worlds Boxing Gym in Azusa, I have not visited yet.
At the moment I am eating smaller portions more often of healthier foods (veggies, tuna etc) and drink only water or tea and doing 1 hour of running/jumprope/biking per day(in combination not one or the other). I am doing this first and foremost because I don't want to get laughed out of a gym for being the fat whiteboy and also because I know I lack the stamina to give a hard workout.
I am orthodox and severely right eye dominant to the point where I lack proper vision out of my left eye, I have below average depth perception and hand eye because of it (punching and landing with good accuracy has not been a problem, defending properly has). I also have below average balance which is my biggest concern. However, that may sound like some **** but it never stopped me from doing what I wanted to do and it won't now.
I have always been a naturally stocky guy and have serious doubts about being able to go below 180.
My first question is, should I just go to the damn gym already? Second would be how much of a handicap would it be for you to lack periph. vision in your left eye, if you had to suppose.
Any and all advice welcome. Thanks in advance.
