Mom's Working Out

Just finished my Thai boxing class.  Most people are quite surprised that I take this class because it's, well, boxing...and I'm a female.  But, really, this is probably the best workout I've had in a month (since the last time I went) and I go to the gym at least 3 times per week.

My partner (a 40-something mother of 4) and I were laughing the whole way through, cheering each other on, getting competitive and having a sweaty blast.

You just can't get a workout like that, in the gym without a personal trainer.  In Thai boxing, there is learning along with the workout so your brain stays active.  I get a workout and I'm not thinking about my kids or the laundry or work...or the fact that I'm bored out of my mind with the treadmill.

Don't be afraid...try a class.  My recommendation:  Empire Martial Arts in Colonie.  Alan Condon is a great instructor and has a workout for everyone.
