Kick butt.


booyah.
I went to my first real life group exercise class this morning.
In college I went to several, but they were taught by students and I went with a massive group of friends.
This was different.

Think SUPER in shape teacher with microphone, awesome music, big room with mirrors, lots of people I've never met. 
And a kick butt workout.

I have always loved kickboxing. 
Billy Blanks and I have been hanging out off and on since high school.
So when I saw that my new gym offers a kickboxing class on Friday morning, I got giddy.
I was slightly nervous heading there this morning.
But it was AWESOME.
Sam told me that a group exercise classes with a great teacher keep her coming back.
And I'm so glad I took her advice!
I LOVELOVELOVE this class! And I'm so excited to make it a regular part of my routine! 

And the icing on the cake...
the same teacher teaches a core conditioning class right after kickboxing, so I stuck around for that.
I'm sure I'll be hurting tomorrow.
But sweating and burning and working hard felt so good!

happy weekend friends :)

dang that girl looks happy to be working out! I have to workout in a class to stay motivated...I have found it is the only way to keep me going. That is why I am 100% addicted to zumba! I hope this class works well for you!

Too crazy we both posted about exercise today. It must be ESPN. ;)
(the girls in my family call it that, we like to be funny)

Yay for awesome teachers and classes. I love feeling pain the next day, especially in those places that need the most work. I cheer when I have to grip the bathroom sink to sit down. (tmi?? probably)

Glad you had fun!

I have been wanting to try kick boxing SO bad! You're motivating me to get my butt into a class :)
My FAVORITE classes are spin! I'm working on getting certified to teach and I can't wait!

Woo hoo! I love working out. Especially when it's fun and you can feel immediately how it's working. Go girlie!

I gave kickboxing a try in college. Well, I basically HAD to take the class. Every time I showed up kicking and screaming. I hated it! But I would be willing to give it another try now and I think I would enjoy it more. I'm so glad that you're loving it :-)
