Let me tell you about this new fitness craze that's been reborn about a dozen times...Fitness Kickboxing. Since I started Kickboxing, I really got my butt whooped. I mean, really really whooped. And I love it! Love it, Love it, Love it!!
I want the world to know what fun it really is, and how the process is...and it's the process that's the real fun, not the outcome (although the outcome can be pretty sweet...ask my guy Chris about that www.secondcomingofchris.blogspot.com). I feel that during the initial phases of learning the movements, improving flexibility, and trying to balance on one leg while spinning around and attempting to kick, while not trying to look like a cat that fell in the pool. I'll share my first video of me giving the punching bag a piece of my mind...and foot. Enjoy! If you've got a story about Fitness Kickboxing, let me hear about it.
Yours in heath,
Sebastien

Kickboxing is a funny thing... when I was finishing up at the gym tonight, I was in the changeroom, and overheard two guys talking about how amazing kickboxing really is. They spoke about how tough and awkward it is at first -- that it's really easy to feel uncoordinated, out of shape, and even a little bit powerless. But with some good direction, and some consistent coaching, kickboxing can give you a pretty damn incredible workout. I would have to agree. The natural high you get from your heart racing, your adrenaline pumping, and you confidence soaring, can't be beat. And nothing is quite as satisfying as the sound -- the cracking sound -- of your foot or your fist hitting the pads with such incredible force and strength. Knowing that the sound not only comes from physical strength, but also from within, makes it so incredibly rewarding.

top of my "when i find employment again" list is kickboxing! I'm totally uncoordinated and overweight, but to be able to get out some anger and get fit and coordinated like that would be awesome!
