Recreational and Fitness Boxing

Hey all. I used to be BoxingPreacher, now you can just call me Pat. I’m the moderator, and I’d love to hear your experiences of recreational or fitness boxing. More to come.

Close to a year ago now, I had an episode of AFib. After a very successful procedure to open a blocked artery, and cardiac rehab after, the challenge is to lose weight and get my diet under control. But that’s not so easy. I love boxing and can do a boxing workout now (although blood thinners sadly prevent me from sparring). But I’m missing the motivation. Work needs to be done.

I’m hoping this subreddit will provide inspiration, motivation, and help for whoever needs it. Also, information and recommendations for gear, and a place to share successes and failures. Please join me!
