Kickboxing!!

Oh, hell to the yeah!  Saturday morning (before heading to Denver Pride for the day) I taught my first Kickboxing class at Fit Chick Express!

 

Unlike my first boot camp class, I was not nervous or anxious.  I KNOW kickboxing!  I ADORE boxing & kickboxing!  Back in Indiana, at LAB/UFC Gym, I LIVED for boxing and kickboxing!  They are now in my blood!!! 

 

I found my groove! 

 

It was awesome!  I was energized!  The Chicks were rockstars! 

 

My teaching style is pretty different from the other instructor, with whom they are all familiar.  Didn't know if they would love or hate me!  But, I would happily accept either!

 

I worked out alongside the ladies, while also going around to each to make sure they got the combination and were using proper form. 

 

On Friday, I wrote the workout on the gym chalkboard, to save me a little time Saturday morning.  When I arrived about 6:40A, I had to get the heavy bags into position, set the timers (I was using 3!!), start the fans, open the garage door and have my iPod blasting!!

 

Here is what we did:

Warm-up (30 sec X 2)

Jumping Jacks

Butt Kickers

Bicycles

High Hands High Knees

Fast Hands Fast Feet

Pushups

Squat Side Kick

Reverse Lunges

Plank Twist

Slips

 

Workout (6 or 7 3-minute rounds with 1-minute active rest)

Jump Rope

Burpees

Situps

Squats

Jog Shoulder Press

 

Abs (1 minute each)

S/S Ankle Touch

Up Downs

Sumo Touchdown

Flutterkicks

Plank

 

It is structured just how I learned back at LAB from all of the AMAZING instructors who motivated, encouraged, pushed and challenged me for four years!

 

I cannot wait to teach it again!!!
