I think?<\/p>\n<p>For most of my life I\u2019ve been your average, garden variety gym-goer, never veering too far from holistic\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/10\/03\/plus-size-gym-body-advocacy\/\">mind-body-soul workouts<\/a> used to straighten out my mental state and give me a good stretch. I tried out boxing on a self-dare. (I\u2019ve got this masochistic voice in the back of my mind that loves a new challenge\u2014even if it\u2019s out of my wheelhouse.) I wasn\u2019t planning on jumping into the ring or transforming my body; I just wanted to try something different.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d always had a naturally strong upper body (my muscles don\u2019t flinch when I\u2019m carrying super heavy grocery bags and I\u2019m never concerned about trekking an oversized duffle of dirty clothes to the laundromat), but was never able to properly control that strength and often ended up with pulled muscles. I hoped that boxing would help prevent injury, and also limit the pain I often experience from my Plantar fasciitis (when inflamed tissue spans the bottom of your foot).<\/p>\n<p>Still, I was incredibly intimidated by boxing. I\u2019d seen those people running around the perimeter of city blocks sporting boxing gloves and doing burpees\u2014and it never seemed very inclusive or accommodating to different fitness levels. I knew I&#8217;d be a fish out of water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/2017\/07\/18\/boxing-workout-benefits\/\">6 Really Good Reasons To Add Boxing To Your Workout Routine<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I walked into the throes of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csboxinggym.com\/\"> Church Street Boxing<\/a> in Lower Manhattan to find myself amongst an array of unique and sweaty humans. Every punch was choreographed as instructors walked around their respective groups to make sure shoulders, forearms, wrists, and torsos were all positioned correctly with each individual swing. I grabbed a matching set of gloves from a side bin and waited for the rest of my class to arrive while I continued to gawk at the action around me.<\/p>\n<p>We began with calisthenics: bear crawls, jumping jacks, pushups, mountain climbers, and a run around the block\u2014which could have easily sufficed as its own workout but was very much <em>not<\/em> even remotely the end.<\/p>\n<p>Back at the gym, I arrived panting. We talked about the proper way to use your strength without throwing your whole arm out, and then we started jabbing, in a circle, with our instructor. With each combination (a.k.a. different kinds of punches) we did a series of burpees until the entire group had finished multiple rounds of this. Then another run around the block, and running up and down the stairs of the multi-level building. Finally, we finished off with various other combos.<\/p>\n<p>My sweat-drenched body was eager to meet the cold air outside as I limped to the train. I knew I should have spoken up about my foot and its history, but felt embarrassed by being new and needing adjustment during my first class. I found myself at home with a bag of ice on my foot wishing I would have swallowed my pride and simply asked to not run. The next morning I had to wrap my foot just keep it compressed enough to walk.<\/p>\n<p>The next few days were rough. My arms were impossibly difficult to lift above my waist and my foot was still throbbing; I had to roll it out on a tennis ball at work when I wasn\u2019t up walking around.<\/p>\n<!-- Shortcode [rr-products] does not match the conditions -->\n<p>The next class I attended had a different instructor and a brand new set of faces, but the same vibe: so much sweat and strength swirling around the room as trainees punched bags and did situps to a loud and guided count. I made it through a similar round of workouts and immediately cornered my instructor after he announced a run around the block. \u201cI have a major foot injury that doesn\u2019t allow for me to put pounding pressure on my foot\u2026May I have a modification?\u201d He allowed it, and prompted to me to do lunges across the length of the gym floor. \u201cPerfect! Yes! I can do that!\u201d I said. The workout was still incredibly hard, but I didn\u2019t end up having to ice my foot for the next week just to recover.<\/p>\n<p>I continued to go to different classes, trying out new clubs and boutique boxing studios, and I did find things I really loved about boxing, like having to be agile while springing my arm forward\u2026all the while protecting my face. And having to use my center of gravity to keep my body grounded on impact.<\/p>\n<p>Boxing also reiterated this: My body responds and reacts differently to each workout, so I have to be mindful of what I need to do in order to keep moving forward in my fitness life. Boxing might not ultimately be <em>my <\/em>thing, but it sure taught me to acknowledge my injuries and speak up for my body.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m 20 minutes into boxing class and I\u2019ve already done a ridiculous amount of burpees, pushups, and\u00a0squats.
