Boxing Class was awesome today!!!!!
We had a special class today because Austin Fit came to do a segment for the magazine. This bodybuilder/model was coming to class to see what the hype was about. The focus of the class was to break the model. Things were very hard but it was great. We had 2 guys also. The entourage.
We started with a shoulder drill. You pair up and only using one had try to touch the other person's shoulder. So think of it as tag with shadowboxing. It took me alittle while to get the hang of it. At first I didn't realize I wasn't suppose to let the other person get to my shoulder (and she calls herself a boxer). I know, I know. Well it was early. Next we did a jumping push-up drill where you jump over a bungie cord then hit the floor and scoot under the cord in a push-up position. OMG! That's all I have to say about that one. Anyway, after that we got to use boxing mitts. This was my first time boxing with another person. It was cool hitting the mitts and be able to move around. I held my own when it was my time to work the mitts. I screwed up once when the guy with the video camera started talking to us. (Haven't these people learned that I can't listen and concentrate!) The next boxing drill involved throwing punches then hit the floor for a pushup. We did 3 different combinations for about 6 minutes. After the boxing drills we did situps and I did squats while they did an ugly drill where you have to do a situp and keep your momentum going and stand up. I don't have the core strength for this one yet. But it's coming. The last drill was a hip opener that involves kneeling and kicking. The fun part about this one was watching the 2 guys not be able to move. That was really the only thing that kept me from crying because I was laughing so hard at them. Then Julia (instructor) and the "bodybuilder chick" went a few rounds in the ring. Unfortunately, I had a conference call so I wasn't able to see that part. Next time.
All-in-all it was an awesome workout. It totally kicked the bodybuilder chick and her entourage's butts.
