I’ve taken up boxing for the past 3 years - here’s some misconception people have:

1. I take boxing purely for fitness, not for combat sport, and did ZERO spar, nor do i even have the slightest interest in sparring. I’m middle aged.

2. As an obese dude, and if your goal is to lose fat - i will advice AGAINSTS boxing. Get into boxing a year or so after you dipped your toe in other more “beginner-friendly” stuff ie.weightlifting.

Boxing will completely fuck-drain your life outta you, even a normal routine of 1-2-1 or 2-2-1 or any variation of punches WITHOUT full power, you will not last 5minit, hell u won’t be able to complete a meaningful boxing set.

But i know - ppl won’t believe, so i urge you to try first.

My routine damn simple, 4 variation of 3 to 5 hit punches, rest like 5 seconds, and go at it again, complete 10rep, and repeat for 5 to 8 set. I’ve thrown the same punches thousands of times, at least i know how to punch now
