First session tonight, with the group of 22 guys, varying in size, shape, age and fitness, but all seem very keen and ready to go.
Tonight's session was lead by Ben Murray, one of Jerseys top boxers (in his day, ha ha only joking Ben). Firstly explaining how the sessions would progress through the 10 weeks.
Then taking us through a quick warm up, followed by foot work techniques, explaining the ins and outs of moving around a ring.
Ben and his team of trainers, were soon guiding us through footwork practise sessions, correcting and adjusting us, without interrupting the flow of the session.
Ben even kindly (!) threw in some press ups, squat thrusts, sit ups and planks, to stop us getting bored.
Then we moved onto some bag work, more for the fitness aspect than the technique, those sessions will come soon, even so, Alan, Ben's dad and right hand man, still managed to slap my face and tell me to keep my hands up, he also assured me this would be the first of many assaults on my unguarded face, hopefully I will be a quick learner in this particular area :-)
The session flew past and wasn't as tough as I feared, as I had already taken a spin class at 6.15am and trained chest and completed some chin ups in the afternoon, but as my nutrition was spot on today, I felt good, plus tomorrow is one of my rest days.
I felt these sessions,tied in well together and were far enough apart not to impede me.
I will go into training frequency and how I have set out my week, in a future blog.
I did still leave session covered in sweat and pretty exhausted, the session itself was set at the perfect level, to judge every one's fitness and not to scare anyone too much.
Looking forward to getting my teeth stuck into it now.
Next session is Thursday
Craig :-)
