At first, I would say it is too much to start. It may exhaust your energy and your enthusiasm.

On the other hand, perhaps it is all right and you should do as much as you can, while you can. I would like to train (more) and it is being a challenge for many reasons. So, go on. :)

I don't think I'll lose the motivation because after the class i was absolutely knackered but knowing that my technique got better after only one class it just felt great and I want to be back in that gym as soon as possible. I also took a cold bath when I got home and I don't think I'll be doing that again :D

ok so it was great, i loved it :D
the coach seemed nice he's pretty chill but can get very serious at the same time
there were only like 2 guys around my age and the rest was just kids lmao
my stamina is bad, the coach told me to start running and i waited until everyone else left and asked him if there is anything else i could do in my free time besides running and he said skipping so i'll do that
I thanked him, I shook his hand and I said I'll definitely be back


I was sorely tempted to drop in as I was down that way this weekend ( my daughter lives in Newmarket) but thought I wouldn't scare you. Well done you, great start, I'm sure you will get where you want, I wouldn't do the cold bath thing either though! :D

I ran 3 miles this morning and after I ran back home I felt like throwing up
coach said ''Kasper, you gotta start running, start with 1 mile a day''
I should've listened, 3 miles is definitely too much for me atm i had to stop twice to catch my breath

coach said my jabs and kicks are looking really good
me and him we did 4 rounds on kicking pad he seemed very impressed

So, have you learned anything you can honestly say you couldn't have taught yourself yet?

No I would think if you dropped in when he was in a cold bath it might well have scared him lol esp if he thought you were getting in too lol

Yeah sure but that's one class. There's a difference between feeling good after one class and doing it week in week out

And doing it week in and week out for years. Some people can sustain that for a few months then fade out.
