Boxing

Look out world, I tried boxing this morning and loved it! I didn't actually box against anyone, just the punching bag. But still, got a great workout and loved every minute of it. It beat the Hell out of doing push-ups! However, I did do push-ups today as well, so the boxing was a bonus. Up until today, Tae Bo was as close as I'd ever gotten to boxing. And, I'll give credit where it's due, Tae Bo is a great workout as well and it did it for me for several years. But, actually putting on some boxing gloves and beating a bag was a lot different than punching the air in front of my television. And I actually experienced a first today. Sweat actually flew off of me! Now, I'm a sweater normally, so it's not uncommon to have some drip here and there. But today, it flew. I punched the bag and I saw it fly. Very cool and totally disgusting at the same time! I had to stop because I was laughing so hard. Just in case he didn't see it, I of course had to tell my trainer that it happened and I apologized because I was sure it hit him. Which grossed me out and made me laugh even harder! Once we found the spot on the floor and not on his shirt, I could go on. :-) Aside from the flying sweat, I totally loved it and can't wait to do it again!
