The ShapeUp Blog

I know that a lot of people who join ShapeUp Club have low activity jobs, and sit down most of their time during the day.

And since I started working fulltime in the company I’ve been sitting down a lot more than I usually did while I was studying (which is all day, every day now…). Not good.

I decided that I needed to do something about this! What?

Well, according to self research I know I’m very skilled in joining gyms, and very bad at dragging my lazy bum in there.
I needed to find an exercise I could do without the hassle of leaving my home once I finally get back from the office, something that was motivating enough for me to keep going and it therefore also needed to give me quick results.

So I went wild and bought myself one pair of boxing gloves + mitts. Very well.

But who was I suppose to release all my inner aggression at? Martin of course.

I’ve been doing boxing before and loved the result and the feeling of being super strong (which I maybe wasn’t, but however, just the feeling kept me going).

Martin hasn’t ever done exercis.. I mean boxing before. I therefore hereby give you the story of how Martin got Shaped Up by punching his colleague in the face… (which he probably will do after reading this text…).
No I’m sorry, I’m only joking of course, but our plan is to do some boxing twice a week.
And to give myself a kick in my lazy bum I hereby promise you to show some sort of weekly result on how it’s going.
