I am absolutely LOVING it!
I see a huge difference in my arm strength and power. Of course I still have a lot of work to do, but I've definitely been improving.
It's quite challenging focusing on your form and then adding the elements of speed and power to the movement. It's so easy to literally get thrown off balance and lose concentration. You've got to be quick, powerful, and accurate.
I've definitely landed quite a few good punches over the past few days. I'm looking forward to throwing many more solid ones.

This week I didn't get any CrossFit training sessions in. I was beginning to feel a bit frantic because I feel like I'm behind on my training, especially with traveling as well as not meeting this week. The main concern I had was that one of my kickboxing training sessions happens exactly during our class time. I don't want to give up either. I spoke to my Coach today and he was great about it. He said if I was learning and benefitting from kickboxing that I should keep going to the sessions and he would work out another time for me to train so that I don't fall behind and lose my strength/stamina/endurance.
I can't tell you what I relief it was to hear that. That extra bit of flexibility will really help me out. Can't wait to get my schedule sorted so that I can focus on doing instead of thinking/planning/hoping. At least I'm taking out my frustrations on the boxing bag :)

You will float like a butterfly and sting like a bee:) You are getting so fast that last night you turned off the light switch in your room and was in bed before the room was dark:)
ReplyDeleteLove those pics! You're doing all you can! Something has to suffer if another thing takes priority. I've always been annoyed about that, regarding exercises, but it's true.
