I have been enjoying my Combat work-outs so much that I decided to do some boxing for my 43 today. I used Hunter’s punching bag.
And, happiness – I wore my pink boxing gloves!!!
For the 43 I started with a right stance and, using my right arm did a jab, hook, uppercut series plus a left cross. (I feel like my punching technique has improved thanks to the hints I’ve gotten from the Les Mills crew.) Of course, I had to switch my stance after I got to 43 and do another set with a left jab, hook, uppercut, right cross. As a bonus, I did 43 alternating jabs to finish!
Boxing makes me feel powerful!!! I didn’t think I would like it as much as I do!
I also did a Les Mills Combat work-out – Combat 45. Great work-out – especially the jumping side kicks and the jumping knees!!!
While I was punching and kicking today, I was thinking about things I would use a knock-out punch on.
My first thought was this: But then I would have missed out on my work-out opportunity of the day and that would not have been cool!
Then I thought I would knock-out all of the daily aches and pains I experience thanks to getting older!!!
But even that is a totally selfish thought use of my knock-out punch!
What I would really, really like to use it on is Cancer. Cancer sucks!!! The last 1.5 – 2 years it seems like many people in my circle of friends, aquaintances, etc. have been hit hard. So, I would say –
And on that note, time to take on Thursday!! 4th graders today!!! (I won’t be doing any knock-out punches at school!!!)
Happy Thursday!
