OK I'm going to spend the summer break from Uni getting in to serious shape- I'm already fit (lots of running) but am going to start on the weights to aid strength. As I'm in the UK a summer break will give me 3 months.
I want to see if I am any good at boxing as it is a sport I really want to take up, I honestly think I'd do fairly well and after trying team sports I've realised I work better on my own.
What I want to know is, at 21, am I basically to old to walk in to a boxing gym and see if I've got what it takes? I'm quite shy too which doesn't help, and as my Uni gym doesn't have a boxing club I don't get any help there.
Any hints or tips would be great, and advice, and any specific exercise/ body parts I should concentrate on before my 3 months is up.
Also I am 5' 10", 165lbs (about 11.5 stone) at the moment- is this an ideal size, should I aim to slim down/ bulk up at all?
Thanks a lot guys!
