Bootcamp, Chickboxing and Bring a Friend

I did chickboxing this morning after a 2-hour rest from bootcamp. Bootcamp rocks*. Chickboxing was … I don’t know. I liked it and all, but I felt like I wasn’t being as pampered by this instructor as well as I had been by others. I’ve never taken any type of boxing before. Unfortunately the only direction we were given was, “Right jab, left hook, right cross, knee, kick – in 4, 3, 2, 1!” I sort of know my punches, but I didn’t know what I round-house? kick was, and we did that often. (Yes, I did figure that one out!) I wasn’t the only newb in a full class of “pros” either. It just frustrates me a bit because I really wanted to get in another great workout today, but I felt slighted.

 

*Bootcamp. I like it. It’s early so I can get my day started. I haven’t figured out if I can or want to workout right before work on the days that I have to work the AM shift though. I could wash off at work, but not really shower. I did it this morning and it was ok, but slightly awkward-ish. Bootcamp kicks my butt. That’s a good thing. Great, actually. My favorite part though? The 3 laps we run outside. Ha, I miss my runs.

 

It’s Bring a Friend week. Sorry if you didn’t get the notice. One of my friends came. Level One Week Five Pole Fit. No, she’d never did pole before. I thought it was going to be really awkward and all. (Totally random – but don’t you hate how awkward the word awkward is spelled?) I hadn’t taken week 3 or 4. Oh yea, and week 5 is learning the routine for the assessment in week 6. So nothing new. No demonstrations of this is how you do a front hook. My friend did pretty well. Of course, I wasn’t watching her the whole time by any means because I was trying to get the routine down. Nevertheless, Amber even said she rocked it. I think I did ok. I know I’ve done most of the tricks that we are doing for the assessment, but I’d really like to be able to do week 3 and 4 before I do my assessment so I don’t miss out on anything. My friend will be returning to the free Pole Tease on June 11 at The Girls Room Inc. I say that was a successful bring a friend session!
