What's Your Workout Today VSGers? - HUMP DAY!

What day is it? Julie? What day is it? Whoo Whoo! HUMP DAY!

Let's Hear It!

I started my day with 400 meter sprints. I only got through 4 of them, ran out of juice.

I have an Orange Theory Class at 4:00. Its a total cardio day!

45 minute work this morning and Zumba class tonight.

30 minute walk at lunch time and then Aqua Zumba tonight!

Kickboxing, and I really, really don't want to go.  I don't know what's wrong with me, but it's giving me anxiety.  I just need to suck it up.

That's the best time to force yourself to go. But to be honest I've had some really bad workouts that way too. Maybe it's time to switch it up.

I know, and I've had both experiences too - great workouts or really bad ones.  I don't know what it is about this class, but I just do not feel comfortable in it even after going for months.  I like the workouts, but there's something about it that makes me feel really anxious.  I do not feel this way in kettlebells or at other classes I've taken, including kickboxing at another gym.  Ugh, I just want to go take a nap :)

The bruises would do it for me. If you are not comfortable how about going back to the other gym.

The class isn't run there anymore.  There are other gyms that do MMA and kickboxing style workouts near me.  Maybe I should check them out.  Everyone is really nice at this gym, but I don't think it's a good fit for me.  I just want to get a good workout in; I'm not looking to be a fighter, and I think the emphasis on fighting and the fact that most of the class are actual fighters makes me anxious and uncomfortable.  Bruises don't bother me.  I'm a walking disaster zone, so if I wasn't getting bruised on bags, I'd be getting bruised on something else.

So you need to look for a fitness kickboxing class. I would not look at MMA type places, I would look at regular gyms, they are more likely to be focused on fitness than fighting.
