Cactusflower's MMA Log

About me:

I have my brown belt in Karate and I used to love it! I did it when I was younger but it was the first time I discovered how I felt after getting out/releasing all my pent up energy/frustrations etc. It was the only thing that made me smile after a bad day.

I started to get bored with the classes (after 7 years, 3x a week, every week, all year). I then started with a regular gym. When I first joined (early 90s) I only did the aerobic classes this was the new way for me to release all the energy/frustrations/anger Then years after doing classes I got bored.

In comes MMA. I stopped by Xtreme Couture today and got myself a 2 week pass. I am so excited to try all the classes! They have spinning & crossfit too. Can't wait to do spinning - I miss it! Tomorrow is kick boxing - woo! I can't wait to try BJJ & Muay Thai...I am super excited to try all the classes!

I will be posting workouts, how it felt and I feel afterwards...EXPECT SWEARING ABOUT THE DOMS for the first while!

Sooooooooooooo boxing tonight wasn't really boxing. Turned out to be a bootcamp style class and they just haven't changed the name on the schedule.
Tomorrow Im doing spinning and then afterwards will observe the kickboxing class. I find watching a class before joing is a good idea.
Wednesday will be ladies only muay thai (it's also more of a beginner class).

Kickboxing tonight...and I did not land on my ass or hit myself .

First time so went over the basics and stuck to hitting the bag. I really enjoyed it but have to get used to turning my feet when I punch.....

Tonight was a lot of advanced fighters (and I was the only female) I think Tuesday's class might have more people who are different levels.

Great workout and I loved it!
