You raise the bar, without having to lift a bar. And it’s anything but boring. In fact, it’s relentlessly invigorating.

Benefit #6

Feel the Need for Speed…

You’ve made it this far. Now it’s time to ramp up the amps, pick up the pace, and double-time your combos. The beauty in this moment lies in how far you have come, and the vibe, the tribe, the energy in the room enters you at this moment. If you were working out on your own, at home, just landing some solid punches on a heavy bag, I promise you this: THIS MOMENT is when you would call the “fight.” You, “got it done.” But if you want to transform your body and your life from the inside out, now is the time the sleeping giant inside you is roused to a level it’s never been challenged by before. If that were the case, you champion within you would have never drifted off to sleep. And it’s a good thing you are accompanied by the champion within you. It’s time for a “hard core” ab challenge like you’ve never experienced before. The “burn” hits you automatically, - -because the quality of the core work resides in the temple where only the “hard core” go to honor their own temples. No auto-pilot moves here, or in any other part of the class for that matter, DING!

Benefit #7

See the Light!

You’ve come to the cool down portion of your workout. Black lights flash with a beat, slower, but it still resounds within your entire being. Here you will allow your heart rate to come down with active stretching. Your instructor will check your form, as he or she will throughout the entire class. You made it. You’ve given up on wiping beads of sweat from your body and the bag. You are swimming in an ocean of all your dreams, ambitions, heartbreaks, hopes, and YOU are still standing. There are 24 bags still standing, after 24 hungry, hopeful, and hands that came to “work it out,” no matter the motivation. You walk away with your head held much higher than it was when you entered this, “sweat -your -soul sanctuary.”
