I am so sore and can barely move from..........video boxing.

I nearly beat 3 opponents before I couldn't even lift my hands anymore.

Big props to the boxers out there. That is unbelievably demanding and I'm paying for it today - I'm wearing not one, but two BenGay patches right now. And I wasn't even hit back!

If you ever see Mocap Boxing in an arcade, I highly recommend. Just make sure you stretch and play it last. If you make it to the 3rd boxer or beyond, I guarantee you will not be able to play anything else in the arcade - you will be wiped out.

I saw a review of the game when I got home and people said they lost 10-15 lbs a month playing Mocap boxing just once a day!

1. Oh, come on....zero boxing fans in the lounge?
I loved it so much that I'm looking up boxing classes.

2. Arcade boxing?
Cool, if you're into it! Sounds like a fun way to get in shape!

4. Yes, arcade boxing! It was really intense. It had sensors so you had to
play defense as well. Ducking, diving, jabbing, etc. And the gloves with sensors weighed between 2-3 lbs each. You have to knock down each opponent 3 different times before you finally knock him out, then you move to the next boxer - who is more skilled the the previous.

It was so exhausting. Best work-out I've had in a long time.

5. Yeah, it is a very taxing sport.
Now imagine the amount of punches that you threw today, and add to that the fact that if you were in the ring, you would have gotten hit back.

It's always good to see an appreciation of the the fighters and skills of the Sweet Science. :toast:
