ORIGINAL: VirginPotty Gwyn, you ever think of taking up boxing for fitness? All the moves of boxing but no actual fighting if that's not your thing. I think it would be a very healthy way for a pregnant woman to get a good cardio workout AND get out alot of frustration! Get some handwraps, 14oz gloves and a free standing bag, look up proper stance and start slammin' away! *smiles* When I was on the force I used to do kick boxing.. I have no idea where my gloves ran off to. It raises my blood pressure too much for right now.. and I have no place to hang a bag unfortunatly. I am doing gentle yoga, stretching, and lots of walking. ( as Tulip about my mad fast walking skills.. poor thing. ) Hey these long legs gotta be good for something. With the change in my diet ( cutting out soda and coffee, and most of the bad for ya stuff) and adding more excercise... I have actualy lost a total of 7 lbs over the last 15 weeks even with the baby. I feel much healthier.. I just wish my back and hip didnt hurt so dang much. The facility I work in is huge so I walk about 1 - 1 1/2 miles a day even with out my eve walks around my neighborhood. plus all of the grapefruit I am eating/drinking helps with the fat intake what little there is. I am even doing daily stretches at my desk at work. I have gotten a bunch of people addicted to it. *smiles* I love being active. I will sew to release my fustrations.. and clean the house.. those are the best ways to get the ick out for me. Gwyn Good for you, Gwyn!!!!!!! I mentioned a free standing bag, not a hanging bag :) You should get the one in the shape of a man & put a pic of Daddy-O on it. Kickboxing is great, isn't it? My coach is starting to implement the kicks/back swings into my workout and I love it! I sweat so much that I have to hang up my workout clothes to dry out before I put them in the hamper!
