I haven't been able to loose the weight that I put on while I was recovering from my injuries from Afghanistan, and managed to put on even more since I retired. My step son wanted to do kick boxing to get in shape and loose some weight and the wife thought it would be a good idea for me to do it as well to help motivate him and for me to loose a few pounds, so needless to say I took him to the dojo this evening for our first session.
Beginners are thrown into the work out with those who have been training for years, and most of them are teens in their prime. I am 43 and have 37 pcs of surgical hardware in my shoulder, back and pelvis along with a few pieces of shrapnel that was left in me. I didn't fall out and I was able to keep up for the most part, but now that I am back home in my easy chair.... I am freaking dying here.
Best wishes,
Joe
