Starting Boxing

[Psychobabble]

I am planning to start training at home and was wondering what kind of equipment i needed. I am a heavy guy and want to loose weight first, I am 247lbs and want to get down to about 190lbs. so what kind of equipment should i get, Heavy bag, speedbag, double end bag, tredmill etc...

start by geting a heavy bag and a skipping rope but learn the baisic punches befor useing the heavy bag so you dont develop bad habbits
also run and do push ups, situps, leg raises, crunches and pullups.

Thank you for the help I will get a Heavy bag, Skip rope and tredmill for my first things. then a speedbag and double end bag later on.

why a treadmill, waste of money - just run outside
