tranquility du jour tv: boxing 101
-----------------
when debating what to share for my second vidcast, i decided bringing the camera into the boxing ring would be a fun change of pace. with a constant desire to learn new things (always been a little too curious), i took my pink gloves and headed to a boxing gym in january. and, i'm proud to say, i've been going weekly ever since! this is a clip of thursday's session (um, still sore!) with my oh-so-patient trainer donte brown.
during one of our first sessions he asked me what my fitness goals were. i quickly replied, "i want to look like madonna!" now when i moan about running stairs (inhumane!) or doing crunches (doubly inhumane), he reminds me about madonna.
boxing has been humorous, challenging, and rewarding on so many levels. oodles of hand/eye coordination (not my strength) coupled with cardio and learning something totally out of my realm. i hope this makes you giggle (note the pink pumas) and inspires a spark of living outside your comfort zone - that's where life happens whether in a boxing ring, on a yoga mat, or at an art easel.

And by "boxing" you meant intense, full-body, torturous workout! Wow i am uber impressed, and you look so adorable with your pig tails and candy pink gloves. :-)
love, love, LOVE the vidcasts! i have a thought about a future video, i would love to see you do your ashtanga practice. please?! :-)
Wow, what a workout! No joke there! Your trainer is rather cute!
I admire what you are doing...I wanted to try boxing myself but when I look at that stair workout...LOL! Thanks for sharing!
Loved the video... looks like a tough workout. Your pink gloves and shoes are fab!!!
kimberly! this was awesome! you have inspired me to try it too! the pink gloves and shoes definitely made it!
I know yoga is about *not* being competitive. Boxing, however, *is* competitive. So I feel okay saying that I had to chuckle when the yogini was a bit more flexible in that forward fold than the boxing coach. ;-)
Looks like fun but I can see why you had to soak in epsom salts!
You are seriously ADORABLE. And I am inspired! Have been searching for a way to add more cardio to my life, but the gym & running both bore me to death... maybe I'll try boxing, too.
