Dave and I have started going to boxing fitness classes with a slightly scary, ginger Scottish guy called Colin, in Rushcutters Bay Park, about a 5 minute walk from our house. Our first class was last week - Dave has done boxing before so it was easy for him, but I never have and learning the moves was quite hard to begin with as it requires a lot of co-ordination and concentration too. Colin warned us that we would ache the next day however I was totally unprepared for the pain I felt...I woke up on Thursday morning feeling surprisingly fine, I even managed my usual bodypump class before work, but as the day went on the aching just got worse and worse. All down my arms, my back, my shoulders - I emailed Dave at work and he was suffering too!
Yesterday we decided to go again (although as we were walking to the class and remembering the pain afterwards we almost decided to turn around and go back home!). I felt like I had fully recovered but, as soon as I started punching, I could feel the same muscles hurting. Luckily this morning I don't feel bad at all but it's no doubt going to follow last weeks pattern...! Despite the aches and pains, it's great fun, a good way to get some aggression out and makes a pleasant change from the monotony of the gym: I'll have good guns in no time!
