Ok just like everyone else I’ve decided to get going on that post holiday fitness program but unlike some other folks I’ve decided to start fresh on Feb.1. I figured all the gyms and stores would be packed with everyone else and their new found quest for fitness.
So to also avoid the crowds I have opted to avoid everyone else by picking something different to do to help get back in shape. Everyone is hitting those touchy feelie types of programs that mean yoga or pilates. No its time to kick it old school so I decided to hit the punching bag Roberto Duran style but I won’t be yelling No Mas halfway through my work outs.
When you look at any real old school boxer who is not some overweight pork chop they are pretty fit folks. Plus they actually look like real people but they are just in really good shape. No freak sized muscles just very toned boxers. The only thing with boxing is that you need to get some very specific boxing gear before you hit the gym. I was able to a list of items by checking out some online websites and than I found a good Canadian boxing equipment source so I did not have to worry about getting robbed by those crazy UPS custom charges when you order from the US of A. Besides the usual things some items that you might not think about include a groin protector and some boxing hand wraps that you need to use under your gloves. The other stuff included shorts and shoes. So the work outs have started and man does it hurt. But in a good way!
