I’ve given up the idea that I’ll get an uninterrupted workout in at home. That being said, I had an awesome session with my new kettlebells on Sunday, practicing the new movements I’ve learned in the past week.
First, a note about my new kettlebells. Yahoo! I’m so happy! I feel like a little kid who just got some new toys. In fact, I have to remind my nephew and son that the kettlebells are not toys.
The yellow 5 pounder is good for stretching before I work out. I use it as a counterweight. I started out swinging the red 10lb kettlebell (slingshots and figure 8s), but found that I was already used to the 8kg, so 10lbs felt light.
Moving onto the blue 20lb kettlebell- after using 17lbs, it was a bit of an adjustment. The turkish getup was actually difficult the first time around, but I got warmed up and ready to go.
The rest of my workout included half swings, modified burpees, and situps. Of course, anytime I’m on the floor, the kiddos think that’s an invitation to jump on me. Instead of a 25 minute workout, it took almost an hour, but I have to tell you, it felt GREAT!
Here’s a brief video (the sound was deleted/replaced by “the man”) :
Aloha!
i can’t see the video. but i’m imagining.
oh, yeah…. watch out! don’t pull any muscles now!
girl, what can i say. I’m *SUPER* impressed. Excercising in front a camera = crazy, but hey that’s your middle name right?! Hahaha. You look great and form looks good (although i m no judge) Keep it up! yay for you!
little comic relief: the scene with the fitness ball rolling aroung, the next scene… little nephew is gone and fitness ball is on top of the shelf. too funny!
