Update
well, I’m in my second week of boxing (I found here in Melbourne a great gym that teach you in a safe way at my own pace)
after 3 years of exercises hiatus (would it count as exercise the classic once in a while a power walk around the river??) ...
my body is moving muscles that I never knew I could move (nor have) ... sore in every way but OMG so happy... there must be something about punching a bag that makes you feel free.
I got my own gloves and wrists protectors (all in pink obviously ) ...
the only exercise that I’m avoiding is push ups or planks (I don’t want to push my luck) but as an alternative I’m doing sit ups. The instructor knows about my surgeries and let me take punches slow until I get the technique and learn to used the core to get extra power for hitting ... in the meantime Im building confidence and have fun with it. And all I can say it’s that im having so much fun. Arms are sore (good sore) my chest not to much, coz I’m using my legs and core to turn and punch. I’m trying to get the proper technique so I can relay in other muscles rather than just used my chest. So far implants in the right spot and I think they r enjoying as much as me of this new craze 😂
cancer probably made me reconsider many things but having fun won’t be one of them.
Thanks for all your support and keep u posted if anything changes !!!
