I had my first kickboxing tonight. It was so hard - harder than anything else I've ever done in my life. Even harder than delivering Miss Mayhem!
It's at an MMA studio, so it's a lot tougher than a cardio kickboxing class that you'd take at a gym. It's taught by MMA fighters/instructors and they kick your arse for an hour straight! Boxing gloves, pads and everything!
I almost quit halfway through the class - it was that hard. But I took a few minutes to give myself a pep talk and catch my breath and went back to it. I had to keep taking quick breaks, but I kept going and finished the class by doing push-ups!
I have 9 classes left (I bought a 10-class Groupon). Old Lindsay would just quit and say it's too hard. But I'm making a commitment to myself - and telling you guys so that I have someone to hold me accountable - that I'm going to finish the rest of the classes!
2012 is The Year of Lindsay and this is one of the things I'm committed to doing this year!
Great work! I have always found kick boxing extremely difficult, so congrats for finishing. I'm glad you stuck it out because it is amazing how horrible you can feel during a workout, but the feeling you get when you're finished is totally worth it! :)
ReplyDeleteEach week you should just try to think of how amazing you will feel and look once you complete all 10 weeks!
Thanks Aimee! I was telling someone that it was awesome and horrible all at the same time! LOL
