  • 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. I…
  • 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!
  • I didn't say anything about spot reducing?

  • Make sure you actually like what you're doing too. Maybe the whole family could take up a sport? If it doesn't feel like exercise its usually easier to get yourself to do it lol!
  • I hate exercising. I hate all of the lingo and the repetitiveness and the effort that goes into dragging myself to the gym after a day of work. 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?
