      join a gym, get the basics down, and do lots of cardio and running in, lift weights. i believe boxing is mainly anaerobic, but a significant part is aerobic, and its important to train this first. as with weights, they make you stronger, punch faster, more injury resistance. nuf said

          I'm nearly 24 ****in years old and I haven't ever given it all I've got in that squared circle and I've always wanted to, but, at this particular point for me I know doing so would be a good way to get ****ed up.

          5'9 180 lbs workin' 8 or more hours hustlin' everyday down 'here at the pawnshop.'

          I would like the people on here who know why I want to do this, the older guys, the guys who I meet who never even got to give it their all, who you find training and guiding kids and young cats through this very selective and honestly horrific sport we call boxing. I wanted to say game there, but I was always taught football and basketball are games you play, you never play boxing, you live it.

          My dad taught me that when I was a little kid. We would always watch this sport or the other(except baseball... **** is boring yo!) the only one I ever cared about though was boxing, to me it was the only one that actually measured a man. I have been awed by many fights in my life by many fighters.

          My pops passed away when I was 17 and so did my boxing career. I never even hit the ams.

          I was born with amblyopia affecting my left eye. I had surgeries in my youngest years to help control the condition and endured years of therapy just to keep myself from losing anymore than about 30 degrees from my field of vision on my left side.

          All in all the effects of the condition are simple to explain. I have no peripheral vision on the left side. It is what is.

          For the short time I did box I experimented with the Southpaw stance. I will admit I like it, but it is awkward. I'm right handed and if I could just switch my feet at will I could box southpaw and drop a hard right hand...

          It never worked out that way though, I felt like I was giving up all my power to have an accurate jab and the ability to judge distance.

          When I did orthodox I could get inside and put power on punches... but that's it... I could set my feet for a punch... but if you cant tell the mother****er is 4 inches to far away.... you get hit.


          That was my youthful boxing experience up til my dad passed.

          It's been about 7 years... but I want to fight again.

          Lately, I've been dropping pounds by watching my diet, drinking muscle milk for nutrition and just keeping small bits of solid food in my body to keep the metabolism going. I have only been at this for about a month and have lost 20 lbs.

          The time has come to start concentrating on a physical activity.

          I need to improve more than 100% in every aspect. I need a good routine to start and work at. Something I can grind at.

          I know my old trainers would have me runnin and jumpin rope right now. I just want some suggestions on where to start. I feel it's too soon to join a gym, but hit me with your best shot.

            Excellent posts from everyone in this thread.

            There's nothin more to think about time to keep running hard and hit the gym.

            @dc: I hear you. I had a retinal scan done today the optometrist gave me the all clear but told me to keep my head movin

            I don't want to go blind, that's for sure. This is serious ****, but I got some unfinished business and I just see it as a positive move for me.

            Time to run, thanks again to all.
