Yesterday, as penance for my bad behaviour last week, I did my most hated workout. It's a toughy, consisting of a lot of football drills that have been modified to make them more difficult. It's effective, but it makes my head spin. When I started adding this workout to my rotation, I would be on the verge of barfing by the halfway point. I can get through it now, without feeling like I'm going to puke; so that's an improvement.
Today, as a reward for doing my most hated workout, I did my favourite workout, kickboxing. I have a bunch of kickboxing DVDs and I, pretty much, love them all. Nobody, and I mean nobody, can punch an invisible target like I can. I really nail that imaginary mugger. I nail him every time. I've kicked his head off a bunch of times too.
There's nothing like knowing I can win a fight...even if it's all in my head.

I LOVE kickboxing! I miss my hubby's grad school days -- they had cardio kick classes 3 times a day and a ton of other aerobics and yoga -- unlimited classes for $50.00 a semester... Ah, the good old days...
ReplyDeleteWow! That sounds awesome! I would have LOVED that!

lol, I'll be your virtual exercise buddy...I kick your butt, you kick mine!
ReplyDeleteDropping by from SITS! Good luck on the kickboxing thing! Is it almost the same as the tae bo?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I've never tried tai bo, maybe I should though:-) I totally forgot about tai bo!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I guess so, Its like kickboxing. I have a friend who lost her weight dramatically with Tai bo. But she also cut down her meals.
ReplyDeleteHow did I forget about Tia bo? I'm a dvd girl myself not because I live in the middle of no where, because I'm still very giggly and very uncoordinated and know that I am too self conscious to go to a gym. I am however considering joining a local badminton club that plays 1 day a week to break stuff up a bit. I use to love badminton...I wonder if I still do.
ReplyDeleteBadminton sounds fun, though they may actually make you play by rules...and I doubt they will award you bonus points for hitting your opponent with the birdy. Tia bo is something I'm going to have to look into.
