Bikin' and Boxin'

Not a lot of biking today, only a total of 35 mins riding to a client's home and back. The main workout today was an old school professional boxing match with my heavy bag. I did 15 three minute rounds with one minute rests. Now, I'd like to challenge all of you that have a heavy bag to do the same this weekend. Be sure to keep your guard up and stay on your toes. Always keep moving....if you're not hitting the bag you should be dancing around it. Let me know how it goes!!

TOPFIT Tip -- Too many people spend more time socializing in the gym than they do working out, so when I hear someone say "I don't have time to go to the gym today", I tell them "4get it!" GET in, GET busy, GET done, GET out. Keep the chatter and rest periods to a minimum --- you’ll probably get a better workout and you’ll feel great about yourself for not skipping it.
