so i'm not an avid gym goer even though i now have three gym memberships. i'm not quite sure how that happened, it just did. and since i am extremely non motivated when it comes to my physical fitness, i need something that kicks my ass.
i've tried everything to keep me focused on working out but my short attention span usually only allows me to do something for about two weeks and then i am done with it. i'll dabble throughout the rest of the year but never fully commit.
however, as of late, i have gotten into a routine that i think might work for more than two weeks and i might actually stick with it... for at least a couple of months. hell, i have paid for it. so the routine i have adopted is spinning, racquetball, treadmill and my all time favorite (right now) kickboxing!! i'm kind of a cardio junkie when i do workout. it has to be fast paced or i will be bored instantly.
spinning sucks but its a great way to burn a lot of calories in a quick hour. i am the worlds worst racquetball player because of my ridiculously delayed reaction time, but i do try. i love the treadmill for some really odd reason. i can jump on that thing and just run to my hearts content, mainly because it is located in a nicely air conditioned room. now if you moved me outside to do this activity i would DIE! and lastly there is kickboxing. it is my new love. i think i might actually have an affair with it twice a week cuz i love it so much. currently i'm get my ass kicked once a week and it is the best feeling EVER!! mind you, i want to crawl under a rock and have a bucket of ice cold (i hate ice cold. i'm not even a big fan of lukewarm) water poured on my afterwards but i still love it. i have never worked so hard and sweated so much in my entire lifetime as i do in one 45 minute session of kickboxing. and let me tell you how great it is to be able to punch something for 45 minutes! i have never thought of myself as an aggressive person but i will beat the shit out of a punching bag until my body gives out on me just because i can. i would advice everyone to run to the closest kickboxing facility and sign up of one class and then fall in love. i know i have.
