WHAT IS FORMERLYME?

Jim West

FormerlyMe is an online movement to motivate and inspire people to become the best version of themselves by showing them my journey and experience in trying a new workout and lifestyle regime every 30 days. Every post, update, and video is ‘formerly me’ as I endeavor to become the best version of myself and become FormerlyMe. Each month CP Magazine will showcase a part of my journey to becoming the best version of myself. I hope that in turn this inspires and motivates you to start your own journey as well. For this month’s story we will focus on the “I Love Kickboxing Sessions” days of my journey.

One of my favorite experience in my journey to becoming the best version of myself was taking MMA lessons. I decided to continue trying out new martial art based workout routines and decided I would try kickboxing. ILoveKickBoxing in the Woodlands just opened a new location and even with COVID restrictions in place I was able to take five classes in a month. Considering the stay-at-home period of quarantine lasted several weeks, it felt good to get out the house and take on a new training session. ILoveKickboxing Woodlands Trainers From the first to the last session, it was a nonstop cardio rush. The trainers do teach good techniques on punching and kicking which I really enjoyed in my sessions. Doing a high intensity cardio workout with kickboxing was tiring as I still would have to leave the session and head to the gym to work out for a couple more hours. Kickboxing gave me a great start to my day to get myself stretched and warmed up for the session and the workouts for the rest of the day.

Considering how boredom is a top reason people will stop working out due to the same exercises and routines it was nice to get a change of pace. The sessions were always fun, engaging, challenging, and exciting. It is a workout anyone at any fitness or age level can do. Plus, once you strap on your gloves you start to

feel like a real fighter without having to really fight.
