What makes you feel sexy? I was talking with some friends the other day, and the whole group of us agreed that sexy has nothing to do with Frederick's of Hollywood. (Those things are just scratchy.) My friend Kristen thought her little black dress made her feel sexy, and Ann felt it was her perfume.

I honestly feel the sexiest things I own are my black cowboy boots. I'm in no way shape or form a western type girl; I was born and raised in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I think that I think my boots are hot, because I feel powerful in them. I love powerful men, so maybe that's the connection. Lingerie had little to do with sexy in the minds of my friends and I.

Kickboxing aerobics and tae-fitness classes have been the rage for the past few years. To some, they are a bit more fun and interesting than the traditional dance aerobics style group fitness classes. Instead of screaming "reach", instructors yell "punch" and the students go wild. Men are more inclined to venture into these fighting style classes as well. All good news.

As a competitive kickboxer of a little more than a decade I understand the lure. I was compelled toward the sport as a teen, and finally found a legitimate trainer at age 20. My first fight came soon after. I didn't invent kickboxing so I can truly brag about it. It works every muscle in your body from head to toe. It offers the benefits of intense cardiovascular training, builds strength, and increases flexibility. Not to mention it burns a bazillion calories. Oh! And so far, fighting is the most fun thing I've ever done in my life.

Back to those classes. I'm a fan of anything that makes people huff and puff, but if you're into that you may want to take it further. Find a class that utilizes equipment such as heavy bags, focus pads or kicking shields. Hitting the air is fun, but hitting an actual heavy bag is amazing. To me, hitting willing opponents........PRICELESS!
