KICKBOXING! I’m in love!


Last week I talked myself out of trying a kickboxing class at a community center right down the street from where I live.  I convinced myself I don’t have the money right now, I can do workouts at home, blah blah, but I REALLY wanted to try it.  So last night I went to take the free trial class.

I loved it!  The instructor is intense and energetic and tough as nails.  She worked hard along with us and wandered the room to check people’s form.  I got a big head when she said my knee lifts were really good :)  It made me work all the harder, just knowing she noticed how hard I was working out!

It was awesome to see so many different people, all different weights, all different sizes, all different fitness levels, working out together.  It was a bigger class than I thought it would be.  I loved, loved, loved it.

Needless to say, I will be going back for more!  Another good thing is, kickboxing will force me to eat better.  Too much junk food in my belly yesterday made me feel kinda sick.  I will have to eat very clean to get through a workout like that!

 I’m so excited to have found that class.  I have to wait until Tuesday to go back!  It’s only twice a week.  I’m looking forward to it already.

    I’ll have to look into kickboxing. It sounds like fun and a good workout. I am 52, but my Dr. said from the bone test that I have the bones of a 25 year old, so I guess I can try it. Hope it burns calories.

    I adore it! A good instructor makes a world of difference though. I’ve tried another class that was awful. I think it’s the most fun workout, if there is a good leader!
