Getting ready for spring break I had to get back into gear
with working out. When first starting out I was doing my own cardio and some
strength training on a daily basis. Even though I was pushing myself I wasn’t
seeing the results I wanted, so I looked into the Kickboxing personal training.
I had heard that it is a great cardio workout that burns TONS of calories in
just 30 minutes. Being a weak and petite 5’0 girl I was skeptical on how good I
would be at this, but figured it was worth a shot. I had 6 weeks till spring
break so I decided to take it once a week until I left for my trip.
On
my first training session I had no clue what to even expect. Feeling nervous
yet excited I went into it with an open mind. I had to get all geared up with
my hands wrapped up and ready to slip into the big gloves. We started with a
short warm up and then jumped right into it. Not being the fighting type of
girl, I oddly felt a sense of empowerment while punching the trainers hand
pads, letting all my energy go into each punch. After the workout I left with
my face beat red, sweat dripping off my body, and feeling amazing.
Thinking
I was in shape, the kickboxings made me realize how out of shape I actually
was. I never realized how much stronger my dominant side of my body was until
the next day when my whole left side was so much more sore than my right. After
my first class I had gotten a better feel for what was to come. As I went
though each session I noticed that each class progressed with how I was
performing getting a little bit harder each time. At the last session I had
noticed how much my endurance had gone up from the first day.
Kickboxing
was an amazing workout and experience. Being introduced to a new way to workout
made it that much more fun! I encourage everyone to give it a try at least
once; because once you try it you can’t get enough of it.
