We're also just starting out (my aunt and I are taking kickboxing together) so we're starting with three days a week- monday, wednesday, and Saturday. If it weren't for scheduling and how far away the gym is from work we'd like to at least add another day to that.

My first kickboxing class was also the 2nd day of my period- which is always my heaviest and most crampy day. I was uber paranoid (due to a lady time accident when I was thirteen at cheerleading practice that scared me for life probs) about leakage and not being able to participate fully, but it really wasn't a problem.

Went to class tonight and you were completely right! Five minutes in and I had no pain! I got a bit too into it to take it easy like some others suggested and I'll probably kick myself for that tomorrow, but yolo! So far I love kickboxing, I don't see myself stopping anytime soon!

So instead of joining a normal gym with the dreaded treadmills and stationary bikes, and ellipticals, we joined a boxing gym. And I kind of love it? It's more like a class then a…

I wash once a week with shampoo, and twice doing a co-wash (conditioner only). but I'm black so what works for my hair rarely works for nonblack people lol! And vice versa- I still have nightmares about the time my friend tried some weird mayo hair mask thing on me at a sleepover! I've never had a problem with my hair post…

I'm super new at this (like, first day at gym was yesterday new) but aren't Roman chairs those terrible zero fun squat things, not a piece of equipment? We had to do about a thousand of them last night, but I could have heard the name wrong?
