Answer 1

Wow,,, I think I hate the answer repent gave more then any answer i've ever read on this site

Answer 2

Were you playing a wii? Just curious, you should always stretch before exercise. You should not box it is not good for your body. Pick something else. My brother is a boxer ( sigh)

Answer 3

the first time i boxed i tore my rotator cuff, the muscle around my shoulder.  it was because i didn't know how to throw a right hook correctly, and i way overextended my shoulder and tore a muscle.

you should have someone teach you how to throw various punches correctly, jabs, hooks, crosses, etc., so that you can throw a punch without overextending your elbow.  if you throw them correctly, you probably won't injure your elbow.  like in anything else, have someone experienced teach you how to do it right.
