I was pretty excited - kettlebells on Mon and Wed only - so I was looking to make the most of it. However, sadly my neck/base of head and back weren't in total agreement. I started strong with turkish get ups (20 lbs), into double handed swings with a 30 lb bell. Then into cleans, and then cleans with push presses - here I moved to a 36lb bell, and I have to say I was feeling pretty good. Back into single handed swings, alternating singles, and singles again. After this I was back to the 30 lb bell -I try to convince myself that I was being smart and listening to my body rather than bailing out! By the end of the class I was moving a 25lb bell, which felt too light but my mid back and neck/base of head were really talking to me.
The good news is I see Angie at Beech Street Health tomorrow at 9am!! I'm a wreck, and like I said yesterday I'm too much of a Border Collie to really slow down. I'm expecting Angie to want to see me again soon, and perhaps even tell me to give the workouts a rest for a week or so. I can't imagine not working out for a whole week.....we'll see what she says. The great thing about Angie is she's both a massage therapist and an osteopath (well, almost I think she has one more year of study left).
So, a decent workout (I could have done better/worked harder but the body isn't complying with the messages from the brain). Ate very well, but didn't drink enough water. Oh, and talking about foods, check this out: www.embracingbalance.com/2010/05/superlicious-giveaway.html. Jamie, over at Embracing Balance has a superlicious giveaway for Vitallicious snackies! Mmmm, low fat and looking sooooo yummmmy!! You really can't go wrong with Mint Chocolate chip!!! I'm gonna have to find me some of these local - maybe Petes?
Anyay,. that's your quickie.....and no pics :(
I'll work harder tomorrow.
Nite!
