Boxing class #3

What a great day! Had another great workout at Spokane Boxing, and the hot tub was open when I got home! I feel much better after today then I did my first two day, and am pumped to get better! Got 60 minutes in, 2 minute rounds... mostly shadowboxing and heavy bag, but did a round each of box drills, squats, and speed drills. Taking my time, and trying to work on my proper form.

Today at the gym!

Another great class at Spokane Boxing! Def felt more comfortable than yesterday, though still trying to relax when moving and throwing punches. I know that this is going to take time and practice, and I just need to keep telling myself that. Since my work schedule doesn't allow me to go every day, I plan on working on my skills each day at home.... you might call it "homework", but much more enjoyable!

Wow! What an awesome experience. I had a great time at my first class, and can't wait to continue this journey. I learned alot (and am quite surprised just how much I didn't know), and had some great support from the coaches, who both seemed pleased with how I did for my first day.

First thing I was shown was proper stance, and just shifting my weight back and forth.... it's funny how awkward I felt. Kind of like learning to walk for the first time. Worked on that for abut 5 rounds, and then learned how to throw a jab. Now, I "know" how to throw one, but not how to do it "properly", and it's a big difference, let me tell you.

Did a couple of rounds on the bag, just working on what I was shown before, and then some group stuff like squats, lunges, etc.

I'm feeling it in my sides and legs now, but it's a good hurt, and I'm proud to have it!

Mike
