Body Combat

Yes it sounds like a war zone title or something but it's really a mixed martial arts kickboxing aerobics class.

I go to Fitness Works and this is the only gym I know of that has Les Mills group fitness which offers classes like Body Combat, Body Pump (weights), Body Attack (high intensity cardio), Body Flow (Yoga), and Body Jam (dance aerobics).

I try to go to Combat as much as I can, but sometimes my hectic schedule conflicts.

Exercising, especially kickboxing, is my way of releasing built up stress with work. Exercise even when you're tired and feeling lazy or frustrated. It gets your mind off of all that's going on.

When I can't find time to do Combat, I'll run at a high school near my house. I don't even listen to music when I run. I love the sound of silence since it's noisy around me all day long.

Exercising is the one thing I do for myself. What's 1 hour a day? I work from 6-8... What's 15 hours compared to 14 hours? And when everyone is sitting on the couch and eating... I'm out getting tough ;)
