Hi guys and girls, This week I’m talking boxing... I was invited to review Rathbone Boxing and despite having never boxed before, I’ve seen a few people raving about it as being a great workout.

It was the first Bank Holiday Monday in May when I met up with my friend Colette back in Bristol for an early morning yoga session at Trika Yoga, followed by a healthy brekkie.
