Punchin' Judie

After 10 months of wanting to punch my trainer, I finally got my chance...tonight we did our first boxing session!

I. LOVED. IT.

I warmed up with jumping rope, and it didn't take long to remember how to do it right. Then he put the gloves on me and taught me the punches - jab...cross...hook...undercut...haymaker.

Then he had me kick...knee shots up to where he was holding the mitts in front of him. We did combos like jab-cross-hook-kick and jab-jab-hook and jab-cross-undercut-kick. His agility proved useful when I accidentally did "kick" at the wrong time and the mitts weren't there. Sorry about that!

I had to make sure to write about this tonight, as I suspect I won't be able to move my arms tomorrow.

What a blast!
