So this past week I tried something new. I gathered 7 of my friends and we took a trial class at THE RING BOXING CLUB. It was a quick 45 min class where they showed you the 5 punches, ran through quick training with exercises and then some time practicing those punches on a punching bag.
1st of all WOW. Now I know why boxers are in such good shape. Boxing takes concentration, stamina and discipline. Just trying to remember to bring & keep my hands near my face was enough to piss me off half the time. It was fun though and after 20 mins of punching bags my shoulders and arms were screaming. Who knew? Certainly not I.
After the class they gave a quick spiel and invited us for a week trial where we could take any of their classes. During our trial class on the other side of the gym they were conducting their 12 rounds class. Its described as such
“Here is your chance to haul off and hit something. We have combined the components of a professional boxer’s workout with extreme fitness drills. You will burn more calories – up to 1,000 per hour – and build more muscle definition than any other workout in the shortest amount of time. Kiss your boring weights and cardio machines good-bye.”
It looked intense and of course as soon as they handed me my trial paper I immediately looked up when I could take it. I am going back tomorrow and Thursday to partake in some serious hardcore exercising. It’s exciting and scary at the same time. I wish I had the money to get a membership but sadly it was too rich for my blood.
I’ve determined to make this year great and part of that is trying new exercises and switching it up so I don’t get stuck in a rut.
I’m waiting for the picture they took at the gym of me to get posted on their FB page. Once it’s up I’ll take it onto this post. But until then here is a pic that I took with all my friends after the trial class.
If I’m still kicking after the class tomorrow I’ll post a review!
