Started boxing at 37. Best decision of my life. - Lemmy.World

Always wanted to try it but thought I was too old. Finally walked into a gym last year and just… asked. The coach was cool about it. Nobody laughed. The 22-year-olds actually helped me with technique. One year in: I’ve lost 30lbs, my resting heart rate went from 82 to 64, I sleep like a rock, and my confidence is through the roof. I’ll never compete but that was never the point. If you’re reading this and thinking “I’m too old to start” — no you’re not. The hardest part is walking through the door the first time. Everything after that is just showing up. Any other late starters here?
