My New Weight Loss Program
I have been thinking for the past couple of months that I really need to get into shape. Unfortunately, I really hate working out. I hate running, I hate taking time out of my day to go to the gym, and most of all, I hate paying to have to work out. But there is a sport out there that I would love to participate in and I don't think that I would mind spending a little bit of cash to do so. This sport is...BOXING!!!
And although I did just watch Rocky VI, I don't want anyone to think that I am basing my whole decision on the fact that I love that movie. (But, if Rocky can do it, so can I!)
List of Pros for boxing:
--My dad is totally against the idea, which must mean that it would be fabulous to do so.
--I have a lot of untapped rage building up inside of me. I've seen Fight Club, I know hitting something or someone can really help.
--There seems to be a lot of cool boxing-related injuries. Think about it. Black eyes, broken hands, crushed ribs, and excessive bleeding are just some of these injuries.
--I will finally be able to get one of those hanging punching bags that real hipster people have in their basements. I have the perfect spot all lined up for mine.
--The chance to jumprope like I have always wanted to.
--The shoes. Seriously, you could sneak up on a panther with those babies.
List of Cons for boxing:
--Rumor has it, boxing is harder than it looks. Despite how easy Rocky makes it look, someone is essentially trying to kill you with their fists.
--I wear contacts. I am not sure if this poses a problem, but I am looking into it.
--You have to touch someone while they are sweating excessively.
--People might think I am in an abusive relationship due to all of the unexplained bruising and broken bones.
Anyway, this is just a few things I have to think about before I sign up for my membership at a boxing gym. But I really think that boxing is the wave of the future for me.
