Steve let us know before class started that he was very vocal. Boy, was he not lying. He was very direct, which I like. He made it very clear that everyone would have to stay on the rope between sets or ELSE! Because I built my foundation at The 7-6, that is just tattooed on my brain. NEVER STOP!
He was very diligent to explain how important it is to follow some boxing basics. He talked a lot about learning to breath correctly. He told us "Many of wars in the ring have been won by breathing." It does make a huge difference when you back off the bag and take a few deep breaths. I revives you and gives you the push to keep going. I was always in the habit of getting my breathing into a comfortable pattern from running, so it just naturally carried over to Boxing for me. I say running, especially distance, is 3 things....Mental, Music, & Breathing! I guess that holds true for lots of things, huh?
Steve was sure to walk around and observe everyone in the class. It was a pretty big class and I would guess he stopped by my bag about 10 times. He was very encouraging and took the time to correct as needed. I'm sure he burned a few cals from running all over the place :)
I believe Steve is fairly new to the Liberty arena, as another member was telling me about him. She said her daughter got her to start boxing about 3 weeks ago. Her daughter said, "Go to Steve and you will feel SO much better about everything." She just loves him and I can see why. I loved his energy, attention to detail, and passion to change lives.
Planks were back to haunt me again...1 minute on each side, then 1 minute in the middle. But, I made it and that is all that counts. Day 31...Take that!!

| Steve ~ Becky We NEVER Stopped! |
I don't know what they're talking about
I'm making my own decisions
This thing that I found ain't gonna bring me down
I'm like a junkie without an addiction
All my life I've been over the top
I don't know what I'm doing
All I know is I don't wanna stop
All fired up, I'm gonna go till I drop
You're either in or in the way
Don't make me, I don't wanna stop
My body continues to be like a roller coaster. After one workout, I feel like I could go run a marathon (ok well, maybe 1/2). Then, the next one is so challenging on even the things I can do well. But...I Don't Wanna Stop!!!
