Muay Thai starting overweight/Muay Thai to lose weight? I am 16, 5’10 and walk around at 215lb. There is a local Muay Thai gym in my town and wanted to start. I am not the most athletic/fit but not obese or completely unhealthy. I had asked my friend about it and he said I should lose a little more weight and have a bit of conditioning before starting. I want to start Muay Thai as soon as possible and think it’d be an amazing way to help lose weight and do what I love. Thoughts?
