I'm a brick...house!

In order to jump start my attempt to begin consistently working out again, I took a kickboxing class last night at BrickHouse Boxing. It was nothing like the cardio kickboxing classes I took for a few months in New Castle. In New Castle, it was pretty much an all women's class with a few men from time to time. This class was all men with just Suzi and I. I'm really glad she came.

The BrickHouse class focused on form and proper technique which I really enjoyed learning about. However, I was used to kicking the heavy bags with my foot which is wrong. You are supposed to hit with your shin since it is one of the hardest bones in the body. My shin did not like that:

Apparently I am not a brick house, I am a peach. I suppose I need to wear some shin guards or build up a tolerance to abusing my shins.
