"Nic learnt three things tonight whilst Wii boxing with her new wrist weights:
1: she thought she was using her waist/back/whatever muscles before. She was wrong.
2: stopping distances for a hook are remarkably longer with weights than without. Remarkably longer.
3: it is not easy to fake box with a nosebleed."
As I've finally managed to get the hang of not thumping my nose, grazing my chin, or throttling myself with the Wii controllers, I decided to up the ante with the purchase of some wrist weights. The thinking behind this was that I'd have more resistance, and therefore it would be a little more like punching a bag, instead of punching thin air.
You can probably tell from all of this that I'm not a driver, but I suspect there's a distance/speed/likelihood of crashing formula that you have to learn. I'm sure at least there's a warning on the side of the car? CAUTION - MAY CAUSE MATHS PROBLEMS.
It's common sense. It weighs more than before, so if nothing else, my muscles won't be used to carrying them around, and therefore get tired faster, which will increase the chances of my punching my left boob with a right hook instead of the imaginary sand-filled bag hanging from my ceiling. But indeed, if properly thought-out, there has to be a stopping distance to exertion to muscle strength formula that might do the job.
But until someone tells me what it is, I'll be online searching for hockey masks and triple-padded bras.
