Hanging up the Gloves

A while ago I was reading about some boxer from Rumania. He was making quite a stir. Apparently, he is still boxing at the feeble old age of 51. The article went on and on about how the poor dimwit was too old to be boxing, too old to take the pounding, too old to tie his shoes without assistance.

And, of course, I kept nodding and thinking to myself, “What is that old geezer thinking? Men of a certain age shouldn’t be doing things like that.”

Then in a bizarre twist of events, I did the math. Born in November. November 1956. That would make me: too old to take up boxing.
Damn, and I was so looking forward to a round or two.

A mirror is essential Boxing Equipment, so you can do shadowboxing.
You should get a jump rope so you can skip rope as part of your training. This type of boxing equipment allows you to develop agility.

It sounds like "Mills" has it all figured out. Just get a mirror and a jump rope and you will be boxing in no time!
