I stole the title of this post.  I stole it from Michael Logan, our favorite social media guru at Start Up Social Media.  He couldn't have said it better.

Niki of B-Xtreme introduced me to boxing at our training session the other day.  It was an absolute BLAST!  I loved every minute of it.  It was crazy!  I never would have tried it for myself.  Somehow I think Niki knew I needed it.

We started out on the punching bag. Singles, doubles, 4's then dropping down in push up position bring my knees alternately back and forth.  Forget what they are called.  Crazy.

Then it was hitting Niki.  Well her gloved hands anyways (she promised she would hit me back if I missed her hands) never missed her hands.  Singles, doubles, 4's and then ducking. 

Then, it was back to the punching bag with the back of my arms banging the crap out of the punching bag.  I mean, I was really letting that bag have it and was feeling so EMPOWERED.

It was a great workout.  I do have to admit that during the later part of the workout with the medicine ball I started feeling that cup of coffee I drank to close to training time coming back up to say hi.  May even been some of the raisins eaten too close to workout time.  Learned lesson.

Can't wait for next week!
