Thanks for the info about breathing. I have been doing this automatically anyway – maybe 7+ years of karate has it’s uses. I love kettlebells as they give me a cardio and strength workout in one.

I’ve been following you on Twitter, too.

Good luck on your swings. One of the things that has always helped me is to remember to keep my head up and eyes facing forward. Sometimes I will see people put their heads down as they bring the bell down. I think that can open them up for a hurt back.

I used my tripod in the car. I used some little bungie cords with hooks on each end to secure it down.

Below is a link to another idea for doing video in the car using a sponge. Have not done it yet but plan to.

Technically… it’s like I’m speaking into my speaker phone, or talking to someone in the car, who happens to be a video camera. He he he.
The new law goes into effect soon in Honolulu, right?
I have a tripod and will figure out how best to use it/ stay safe. We don’t want a kettleblog turning into a kettleaccident, do we?
Thanks for the comment!

I can’t believe you are driving and blogging. Don’t the cops stop u if u r talking on your cell phone? Isn’t this worse? I know i know u had to get out of the house. Poor baby (both u and K)…proud of you for swinging and for the (cough) visual of slapping Bill’s hand while it was under your bottom….haha…you’re right, you’ll never forget….:) Keep up the good work!

So you get sick out there in Hawaii, huh? Doesn’t seem fair.

When you start doing swings–or just about anything with KBs–the best thing you can do is sync your breathing up from day one. Decide how you’re going to breath and stick with it.

That’s how you get freaked out and panicky and end your sets early–you gas out and lose your wind.

Sounds like you’ll be coming along fine.

good luck!
