In the shadow of McKayla Maroney’s meme and this week’s Lolo Jones controversy, US boxer Claressa Shields has been quietly working her way towards not one, but several of the greatest accomplishments at the London Olympics in 2012. She won the first ever gold medal in women’s boxing (this was the first year the event was allowed at the Olympics), the only gold medal for U.S. boxing in 2012, and became the second-youngest fighter to win gold in either men’s or women’s boxing.

In every gym, there are at least a few pieces of mysterious equipment, but for the most part, you’ve got them all cracked. You’ve mastered the medicine ball, kicked butt at the kettlebell, and you’re practically reformer royalty. But it’s that hulking, hanging thing in the corner that burly men circle around like hungry shark that’s got you intrigued. Are you dying to try the heavy bag? More
If you’re like us, you’re not an expert at boxing or ballet, though you secretly daydream about being skilled at both. Here’s where the Aerobarre fitness routines come in — they combine fat-blasting moves of boxing with ballet barre technique to achieve a high-intensity workout.
We’re so oddly intrigued by this combination that we’re going to try it. Luckily, we don’t have to dish out big bucks to join AeroSpace, the gym behind the workout. We can just buy the DVD. Check out the video and let us know if you’d be into pairing your grand jetés with your left jabs. More
