Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hi there,One of my co-workers is a boxer, and she started teaching at lunch. She'll take two students at a time. I took her class today, and it was fun! We warmed up, and then she showed us boxing drills. We had real boxing gloves and got to throw punches. Boy, that's weirder than I even expected. I had to punch into her bare hands. She's one tough cookie. Today I also learned that you burn a hell of a lot of calories trying to jump rope even if you trip every 5th jump. It was a weighted jumprope, and it was way to long for me.I've had such a great couple of weeks. I've really increased the volume and intensity of my workouts. The best thing is that I've had the chance to try all sorts of things. I've always preferred exercising solo, but it's so great to work out with friends. Newsflash, right? Here are the past 3 weeks. I think I had posted part of this before, but I can't remember where I left off: 2/7/10 CLX BC2 2/8/10 Spinervals 16.0 Aerobase Builder I 2/9/10 4 mile walk 2/10/10 CLX BC3 + 2 mile walk 2/11/10 3 mile walk (active rest) 2/12/10 3 mile walk (active rest) 2/13/10 Fat Blaster 2/14/10 Spinervals 16.0 Aerobase Builder I (80 minutes) 2/15/10 CLX BC1 2/16/10 Spinervals 16.0 Aerobase Builder I (80 minutes) plus 2 mile walk 2/17/10 CLX BC2 + 4 mile walk commute 2/18/10 3 mile walk and Crossfit 2/19/10 Speed Skating and 3 mile walk 2/20/10 CLX Burn Circuit 3 2/21/10 Spinervals 16.0 Aerobase Builder I (80 minutes) 2/22/10 CLX BC1 + 6 mile SF walk including hills 2/23/10 3 mile walk (active rest) 2/24/10 CLX BC2 + 2 mile walk commute 2/25/10 5.5 mile Bike commute 2/26/10 Walk commute and " Punch at Lunch " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 OMG, no kidding! I have to buy a jumprope ASAP. I'm glad there were only two other people in the room, because I sucked!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 This might be quite scary for liability reasons, LOL.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Hi Geoff,Good to see ya! I don't know, but probably not. We're doing it at lunch at work, and there are probably some liability issues if we start doing that, LOL. I think we'll be doing drills.
