Boxing?

Hi everyone! I was just wondering, do any of you box? Recently I have had the desire to box, even though I never have before. I'm developing new goals and would like to try different exercises & things. Was just wondering if any of you do & if you enjoy it?

Hi Kristy

I know it's not the same, but I have WII sport and haev done some boxing on there - I found it really good cardio exercise and my arms ached the next day.  Give it a try - is there a taster session available?  You never know, you may love it.  let us know how you get on.

I don't have a Wii, but would love one! I don't want to actually box, but take a boxing class. I haven't even seen any advertisements for kickboxing class at the local Y, I know they used to offer them. I'll have to check that out.

Hi Kristy,

I LOVE BOXING    When I was going to the gym they had a class called Turbo Kick.  It had some boxing moves in it and I wanted to learn more.  I joined LA Boxing here when it opened (sadly it has since closed) and it was the most intense wonderful work out I have ever had.  I burned 800 cals on average in a class.  You don't just punch and kick the bag....you do all kinds of cardio and exercises and it's the best. 

What surprised me the most is it is great for stress.  I have a bag in my basement.  Do take some lessons and or a class to learn how to punch and kick properly as you can injury yourself if not done properly.

Be sure and keep me posted if you take some classes ok?

Take care,
Kathy

I can only imagine how much one can burn while boxing/kickboxing! I am going to check with the local Y to see what classes they offer. I will definitely let you know if I get into a class.
