2 HOURS BOXING @ DYME BOXING
I have been wanting to go to DYME for YEARS! And, I finally, finally went! I got there at 5pm and walked out the door at 7pm. Needless to say, I was pooped. I didn’t know what to expect but soon figured out that what I was doing was super familiar from when I used to box one-on-one, with a personal trainer friend of mine who is a boxer, goes to Dyme & teaches it as well. We did all the drills we used to do. Basically I worked out for nearly 2 hours in traditional boxing form. And what is that?? 3 minute rounds, 30 second rest. 4 rounds of jump rope to warm up. Shadow boxing, drills in front of the mirror, mitt work in the ring, (first time in a boxing right, you guys!! SO FUN!) heavy bag, double end bag, and at the end, my coach for the day, Duane, said “alright, lets go exercise out” ME: “do what??” Duane: “Ya know, exercise out”. ME IN MY HEAD: “No, but I guess I’m going to find out” Exercising out was basically finishing me off…haha
Burpees, push ups, sit ups, squat jumps, jumping jacks, lateral jumps…
Ok, I’m officially DONE! haha

REST & ALL THE BACK PAIN I WOULDN’T WISH ON MY WORST ENEMY
A kickass week+ of workouts came to a screeching halt circa 10am Saturday morning….
I suppose I should preface the following, lengthy (sorry for the rambling) paragraph by letting you guys know that I have a pretty tweaky low back, which isn’t quite a back problem, per se, rather a glute + crazy tight hips problem that flares up & manifests itself as a back problem.
So! Here we go…2 weeks ago, on Saturday, I sneezed in the kitchen. I had been really tight where I always tighten up – right side of my low back/glutes. If you could only see me in the kitchen when I realized I actually tweaked my back with a sneeze! I was like…did this seriously just happen!? Am I old enough for this to happen!? Apparently I am! Ugh. Any way, moving forward, my back remained pretty tight, but I definitely wasn’t hurting in any way… with that being said, I worked out just as I normally would. Harder actually. I was so sore from boxing at DYME. And that soreness stuck around most of the week. After my workout Friday, I felt pretty okay, but could still feel that my back was wound tight. Enter Saturday morning @ East Coast…our warm up was 8 minutes of AMRAP – more burpees (too many burpees in a week, really.) slam balls and sit ups. Second round of warm up, I went into my slam ball squat and BOOM! I was done. I stopped immediately, stretched, still took the class, but I modified everything and have been in agony ever since. Moving from sitting to standing is pretty damn excruciatingly painful. Adam and I visited my girlfriend & her husband who just had a baby, later Saturday afternoon and they gave me a handful of 800mg ibuprofen. I’m trying to loosen things up with some light stretching and utilizing the Melt Method but at this moment, still in terrible pain. I hoping another day or 2 of solid rest is going to help but going for an X-Ray definitely isn’t out of the question. I’ve always had a tweaky back and I guess I just over did it recently. So, these Workouts This Week posts may be coming to a pause for the next few weeks. :( I will keep you guys posted!

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope everyone had the best Thanksgiving & Holiday weekend! Hopefully, you’ve gotten Turkey Day and all of the yummy leftovers that go along with it out of your system & those healthy eating habits & workout routines have gotten back to normal. Make it a great week! xx
Much Love,
