Last week I lost more #s than I thought I would, because I worked four straight doubles between the two jobs. That leaves zero time for sitting around on the couch and eating. Plus my second job is running around the whole time so my whole body is exercised (and sore!). My calf muscles were seriously worked. I was gonna take a day off to relax but I didn't. Monday right after work I joined a new boxing gym and did an hour there. Good burn, good sweat, amazing workout. Plus I got to hit things! :-) I went right back on Tuesday and we sweat so much that we are all soaking wet by the end of the hour. It is amazing. I've been doing the Strength Training consistently for months now, and its easy to get myself to do that because I LOVE lifting weights. But its much harder to motivate myself to do cardio. Now I have all these muscles I never had before and I want to use them for something. I wasn't nearly as sore after the first day of boxing as I thought I would be. Guess all that working out paid off! My shoulders held up quite well. There is some soreness in my legs due to the awkward motion of throwing a right cross, and my forearms are VERY tender because of the "wrist flick" at the end of the punches that we do. But two days in a row and just a moderate amount of soreness, not bad for a first timer! I thought I would be huffing and puffing and embarassed in front of the more seasoned people there, but I wasn't. I mean it was a tough workout and I was getting a bit cramped in the abdomen, but I wasn't huffing and puffing. So I took Wed off and had a bunch of errands to run and wanted to get some strength training in with my brother, he helps me do my chest and core circuits. But tonight (Thursday) and Friday I'm right back at the boxing gym for the circuit classes. Fantastic workouts!! Love it so far!!
