I love kickboxing!! it really does tone your body and give you a sense of power! After each class, I felt like I could conquer the world. However, I over did it and developed planter fiscitis in my foot. Be sure to wear good shoes, take plenty of Water, a towel for the ton of sweat and have fun!

I was thinking of doing something like this to get my last 25 lbs off. I will keep an eye on your progress or maybe jump on this trek with you. How did you decide where to go ?

Years ago, I had the Billy Blanks kickboxing video. I really enjoyed it and used it frquently, but due to increasing arthritis (I was in my early 50's - I am 62 now) my doctor said to knock it off. Now that I am on this Sleeve journey, I work with a chair boxing video more appropriate to my physical challenges. I agree that boxing even without the kicking can give you quite a hearty workout. And yes, it is fun.

I currently do kickboxing now and my surgery is probably going to be scheduled for the end of June. How long do you think I'll be away from that high intensity workouts?

I had to put my martial arts training and kickboxing on hold for three months. Falls are bad. Forceful kicking/punching/twisting = bad.

Low intensity if fine after a few weeks, but kickboxing doesn't generally fall into that category unless you aren't doing it right. :D

Thanks! That helps. I'll have to double up before the surgery to get in my fill before hand :)

I teach that type of kickboxing. :D It's great fun, a huge stress reliever and wonderful for your body! ENJOY!!!

Only one class and I loved it. Get to have gloves and get to do it in bare feet and look snazzy in my karate outfit. Hahha

I just heard that the karate studios all do them and people love it

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
