Boxing

I did a boxing class at the gym today. Any other gym goers ever try it? I was pretty happy I could keep up and the chick taking the class said I did really well for the first time. She also told me I'd be able to do any other class there because boxing is the hardest. I was happy to hear that too. (sorry. I couldn't resist a little bit of a boast)

Ohh...nice! Can't find the clapping smilie. Btw, nothing wrong with boasting. If you don't boast, how will others know what you're good at?

In restaurants, when the server asks my brother, regarding leftovers "do you want a box for that?" he replies "no, but I'll wrestle you for it."

I cut too easily to box. They call me "The bleeder".

Oh, @ Ali...I think it's really neat you did that. I've always wanted to try something like that. Kick-boxing would be fun.

Not in the southern hemisphere - just in the deep south.

I really paid for my efforts yesterday. I was amazed at the muscles that were sore. Back to the gym today. No boxing though.

I have done some boxing in my time. It is the most exhausting thing I have ever engaged in, that includes pushing my car up a hill. So if you can still with it I would imagine a great amount of stamina and strength can be gained from boxing Ali.
