Last night we got away from the TV/monitor screens for a change, and went to a cardio boxing class at a boxing gym near our house. I wouldn’t be getting hit, just hitting a bag, so I figured it wouldn’t be too bad…
During the class I confirmed my suspicion that I am a wuss. I almost didn’t make it out of the warm-up! I thought I was going to pass out so I kept sitting down. Eventually I made it through and got to the punching bag part, which was a lot of fun, even though I had to keep taking breaks. (Wimp is also a good description for my current fitness level.)
While I was resting I had a chance to look around the gym. There were some guys boxing, and fighters behind me wrestling. I watched them for a little while and realized that they could snap me in half.
I got back up and hit the bag for a little while longer. It did get a little easier as the class went on and I ended up having a great time! I have to decide soon if I want to sign up for the boxing gym or go to a regular gym, and it’s going to be a really tough decision.
Incidentally, One Pound Gospel… this is all your fault! *shakes fist boxing glove*
