Cardio Kickboxing is a thing!

So, last night, I went to my first class at iLoveKickboxing. I got my ass kicked by the first 15 minutes, but I honestly really tried to do every move that they showed us... mountain climbers... omg. I can't quite do those yet... or a lot of the other moves. But I tried. I really tried. So, yeah, I can't do them yet, not like I should be able to... but the more I do them, the more I'll be able to. I'm totally in much better cardio shape than I thought... while the muscles were screaming after the jogging, and the fast moves and stuff, I wasn't breathing hard. In fact, I wasn't breathing super hard the whole class. It was eye opening.

Today, my knuckles are barking a bit. I have gloves, awesome, pink gloves, but when I asked about handwraps, it was a "some people like them, some people don't." type thing. I decided to hold off on buying them, since I didn't know if I was going to need them... Oh, I totally need them. The knuckles on my right hand... right where my fingers meet my hand? They're sore today. So, I ordered THESE online. :) So, this was me before class last night, ready to go in and kick butt!

I have my boxing gloves too. They're made by Century boxing, and they seem decent. :) They're pink. Yes, I said pink. I'm a girl. Get over it. ;)

Unfortunately, iLoveKickboxing is a little out of league for me financially right now... they're basically $100/mo for 65 classes. It's a total shame too, because the girls there are amazing. The atmosphere is also amazing. Super supportive and uplifting. The workout is Hard. I'm not going to lie. And my muscles are feeling it today. My inner thighs are screaming at me. But it's totally worth. TOTALLY. WORTH.

I am going to check out two other gyms next week. One is $48/mo for unlimited classes, or $10/class. The other gym I don't know how much it costs, but, right now they're running a deal $49/mo for unlimited classes. I'm checking out one on Thursday, and one on Saturday. We'll see what I think of the gyms, and if they'll be ok for the price. I know I have a few local people that read this blog... anyone interested in doing some kickboxing with me? :)
