Kickboxing

I have been taking a turbo kick class at my gym, Genesis, for about a year now. I like it. It makes me feel powerful. I’m all about group exercise. It satisfies the social side of me, plus, I’m a lot less likely to quit early in a class. I’ve been doing step aerobics for more than 20 years. But we are down to one step class offered per week now! So I started turbo kick and I like it! We punch and kick the air, upper cut, jabs, roundhouse….

So then I started working with a personal trainer. Scott and I purchased some sessions with him and he helps us figure out the machines and how to get better results with our workouts. He’s a great kid, very encouraging and motivating.

One day I was working out with Jason, and I saw the big punching bag hanging there and mentioned that I had thought about learning to box. His eyes lit up and he said he happened to be a trainer for kickboxing. Hummmm…..

So to reward me for doing the workout he has set up for me three times in a week, he said he’d do some kickboxing training!

Ok, I’m not going to lie. It’s harder than I thought! I have to think about so much, how to stand, how to move my feet and hips, where to look, how to turn my hand. Tons to consider. And Jason is so patient!

Of course I had to get some pink boxing gloves.
