Basically a personal trainer will teach you how to throw combinations of punches, foot work and evasive manuveurs. You will be hitting what are called target mitts, not me thank God.
I never took boxing lessons and in addition I am really out of shape. Will I be able to do it?
Absolutely. I haven't had one client that wasn't able to throw a few punches, and they loved it. There is something very theraputic about hitting an object. In addition you are progressed according to your fitness level. It's a great way to get in shape really fast and burn tons of calories.

There is no such thing as being to old for fitness boxing lessons. I've trained women in their sixties and they loved it.
