Song of the moment is "Shadowboxer" by Fiona Apple.
My body is going to absolutely hate me tomorrow because I went to my first (but hopefully not last) Everlast Shadowboxing class tonight. It lived up to the name because it sure did feel like it was going to (ever)last ... forever. It's definitely a workout. I thought it would be more like kickboxing, which I love. But it really wasn't. It was set up in 30 second intervals ... 30 seconds of fast jumping jacks, then mountain climbers, then push ups, then jumping lunges, then jabs/ upper cuts, then back to push ups, and on and on. I might want to stick to my dance classes.
We got pedometers at work this week for participating in a wellness exam, and we've all been trying to get in our 10,000 steps each day. I was at about 7,000 steps before the shadowboxing class, and I didn't think I'd hit my goal. But my handy little pedometer clocked in at 12,000 steps after the shadowboxing class. I'm pretty sure we can attribute 3,000 steps to the crazy amount of jumping jacks and mountain climbers we did. I love getting new free toys, and I think it's funny that my coworkers and I are so excited about counting our steps ... and competing to see who can take the most. We're easily entertained.
