inside the box

Long term readers of this blog may remember that I posted a You Tube clip of myself on the heavy bag some years ago, not long after I had Sean. Back then I'd hoped to be back in some form of training by now, but all I've managed to do is a bit of general fitness maintenance. My fitness isn't too bad but my skill level has stagnated year after year.

Last month when I filmed the training session for Steve's latest DVD I got all excited about training again.  Also, I ate many cookies over Christmas. So I decided that this year, Thursday afternoon will be martial arts day and I will take advantage of having Steve around to learn some stuff. I'll film a small portion of each session for accountability, and to shame myself into improving.

Today was my first boxing session. I got my ass handed to me for about half an hour culminating in a pukatory (almost) Tabata set.  It was all great fun, but I only filmed the first few minutes of me hitting the Thai pads. The camera isn't well-positioned and I didn't realise it was only capturing waist-up, so it's kinda meh in various ways. I'm trying to put this under a cut to spare your browser and my ego, but I have a lotta trouble with LJ cuts so apologies in advance if it doesn't work.


It was freezing but within moments I was too hot for the hat.
