Hello everyone! While most of our discussions here are about exam prep and clinical topics, I wanted to ask something slightly different but still connected to maintaining good study habits. I recently began doing some light kickboxing training to manage stress and stay active during my board review. Since I am still new to this, I am trying to choose basic gear, including kickboxing gloves, and I am also curious whether regular training can actually support focus, energy, and overall mental resilience. If anyone has balanced physical training with medical exam preparation, I would appreciate hearing how it affected your concentration, stress levels, and study routine. Any general thoughts or experience would be very helpful.

When it comes to training gear, starting with something simple like kickboxing gloves can be a good way to ease into regular activity without adding too much complexity. Light sessions can help reduce stress, improve focus, and give your mind a break from long study hours. Even short workouts can make a noticeable difference in concentration and overall energy levels, as long as the routine stays balanced with your study schedule. If you are consistent, it often becomes a helpful part of maintaining mental resilience during exam preparation.
