Gee, I can't remember a time really in my life that I wasn't very athlete.

Took up boxing at such a very young age in the gym at age 9, but different perhaps than a lot of other people who are also very athletic I never had really much interest in any other sports but boxing, it was my life.

As for physical conditioning, I guess it could be said that I've been a kind of conditioning freak my whole life and still to this day now (at age 55).

There is nothing that makes me feel better than a good workout daily, its a habit I developed over a period of doing for many years.

I always feel great after a really good workout.

As for physical exercises, I still get out and run a couple of miles every day, and will work out for at least an hour every day, doing what could be called hard or intense calisthenics, and stretching exercises.

Also resistence exercises, only not resistence forms of exercises that involves that of lifting weights or use of resistence machines. I've never see that as being the best way to train, and I've long since believed it was over rated.

It was drilled into my head many years ago by the old pro fight trainers since the time I was a kid, that lifting weights isn't for boxers and can ruin a fighter.

This is much the reason I have never had any interest in lifting weights.

Only, reason I mention that is because lifting weights have come to be the most common form of exercise today, and I always hear so many people to talk about their lifting weights to get in shape.

The old school produced the greatest boxers and athletics in my veiw, and how I know how good physical training is, is by what it produces.

I always believe the old school produced the best professional athletes.
