    Are you already in need of new gloves? I thought you had just gotten started with boxing only 1 month ago. I think I remember reading this a bit ago. I wouldn't waste money on new gloves already, especially if there are no problems with them.

        Yeah, get a nice pair of running shoes, that would be the best bet. Then do all kinds of running, do hills and sprints and - yes - even a little jogging. Probably a lot more fun than some cardio gym - you can still bring along some training buddies for company.

          yeah what do you need a gym for to train your cardio? get some decent shoes (under armour)

          gyms are boring if all you do is ride the bike or run (treadmill). jogging outside is fun and its free

            Spend that money and build some home made equipment and condition yourself on your "off" days. Or buy a pair of runners like everyone says. Unless your gloves are worn out, don't buy another pair like me. I have two Twins gloves for Muay Thai and I just alternate them whenever I want... its becoming a fashion show or something.

              Haha, I always wanted a pair of yellow or white gloves when I was fighting, but when I started out most gloves were either red, blue or black, and when these fancy colors came around I was broke most of the time so I couldn't justify buying something new when I already had my Reyes gloves.

              I have to admit I envy guys boxing today, though... It's embarrasing, but true: If it was me I'd get yellow, white and camouflage gloves and wear a different pair every day.
