My Motivation Monday video is from my boxing class last Monday. I was the only person in class that day, which meant the workout was personalized just for me. We did some more advanced moves and played with foot work. This particular video shows me working with the focus mitts. The focus mitts are fun because it feels more like you’re actually in a boxing match.

The combination in this video isn’t particularly complicated, but I love that after each combination I switch my dominant side. I really love getting to work on foot work as I have a lot of practice hitting the bag. Since I was the only person in class, I finally got to film the focus mitts. In our normal classes, we don’t always have the chance to play with these bad boys and even if we do it would be impossible to film. It’s really neat to see how these moves look against another person instead of just on the bag. Not only can I get in closer to the trainer than the bag, but it’s nice to have the resistance from the trainer.
