kickboxing + <3

[allsunday]

You never know exactly how out of shape you are until you do something stupid, like taking up kickboxing. By the end of this quarter, I'll either be really, really in shape, or really, really dead. Yes, you have my permission to place bets, and yes, my ass is going to be really, really sore tomorrow...not to mention my abs, my legs, my arms, and

:) As long as you enjoy it (kickboxing) I'm betting you'll be in shape. :D YOU BETTER BE IN SHAPE! rawr.

*cowers* Yes, yes, as you say, master! :3

OMFG, really? XD My mom and I were considering taking a kickboxing class together. You'll have to tell me how it is!

Good luck with it :D And i'm betting you'll be a mix of dead and in shape, but that it will be worth it. (dead...in a good way...XD)

Well, I talked to a friend who's done a bunch of martial arts in her lifetime and she tells me that it you start vigorous exercise after a long time of no exercise at all, you'll be totally dead the first month, but if you keep it up, everything will be just fine after that. I really hope she's right- I can deal with a month of pain for nicer thighs. XD;

streeeeeeeeetch before going to bed. and always move: try to reach out farther with your legs and arms. it gets worse if you try to move less to avoid the pain.

i've been there way to often T_T

Oh yeah, that much I know, fortunately. I did gymnastics when I was young, and I could do the splits by the time I quit. I WILL be able to do splits again, dammit! *stretches more* o_!

I was goofing around last night, practicing kicking... and I tried to do something that I saw Sanji do once... like, he challenged someone by pointing his foot at them. XD At least I think I remember him doing it... if it wasn't him, it was some Chinese person in some HK action film. >_> Yesss, yesss, excellent. ~_~

Well, I was pretty close to dying yesterday, too. I had to stop a couple seconds here and there just to catch my breath, and so did a bunch of other people, and we were all just looking at the instructor like, "How can you NOT have side cramps?" ^^; She wasn't human, I tell you.

But yeah, I think you could deal with this sort of kickboxing about as well as I can. It gets better after a while though, so you just have to keep it up.
