You can use a boxing workout to let out a day or even a weeks’ worth of stress or aggression. The upside to that is that it’s channeled into positive energy. You will leave the ring feeling released of stress and tension and more fit than when you started. Join us for this all women’s 6 week fitness program. Class meets once per week.
