yeah, then go to it and check it out. are the guys welcoming? or do they seem like diks? is it your kind of gym? or really dirty and grungy and not for you?

once you find a gym, join.

And my personal feeling is that you should give up weights and focus more on flexibility and quickness and do more pylometrics.

Don't be discouraged. A lot of guys get in the gym and think because they've seen it on TV that it can't be too tough. But trust me, you'll be doing everything wrong at first. Just stick with it and be open to criticism.

You might want to buy yourself some shoes and gloves, too. Gloves first though. I hated using the gloves at the gym because they stink... that's so gross having to use wet gloves someone else had on.

check out ringside.com or titleboxing.com. Or sometimes the gym will sell stuff. That way you can try gloves on.

First things first, get 108" wraps and learn to wrap them.

There are sureloy plenty of gyms in T.O.

what part of T.O. are you from/in? I'm from St. Catharines now living in greater Detroit.
