Yesterday was my second boxing class.  I think I'm in love.  I had so much fun.  It was hard as hell but I was smiling the whole time.
This time we jumped rope as the warm-up.  Since we have class in a karate studio we are barefoot during class.  The jumprope would get tangled in my little toe when I missed.  It hurt so bad.  I finally realized that I needed to slow down so that I could continue to jump or I wouldn't be able to walk.  Jumping rope works well for conditioning.  I was sucking wind hard.
Next we had to jump over and crawl under a bungie cord.  OMG.  That's all I have to say about that one.  Then it was on to boxing.  Most of the giirls did partner drills.  Because I'm still new, I worked on my punches on a bag by myself.  It was sweet.  Just punching away hitting things for about 20 minutes.  Next was ab and back exercise drills, with muscle balls.
I really enjoyed the class.  They have sparing on Saturdays.  I'm not ready for that yet but one of these days I'm going to go and watch.  Who knows maybe I'll get to the point where I can get in the ring and spar.  Girls got to have a dream.
