don't procrastinate. It doesn't matter if you're not in great shape. Join now and you will begin learning straight away. Just run when you're not at the gym and train hard when you're at the gym. Don't miss sessions and watch what you're eating. If you want practice a couple of things before you go just practice you're stance, keeping your hands up and bringing them back after you throw a punch, throwing straight shots and moving on your toes.

You'll need meat, stuff like chicken, not red meat. No point in eating just veg if your gonna be working hard in the gym. Protein is gonna be very important for you if you want muscle mass.

Keep up the running, that is pretty much the best thing you can do outside the gym. And whilst in the gym ask your trainer what you need to sharpen up on, what are you good at etc.
