Kettlebells

It's dinner time and I'm pooped. It was a busy day of running around, and it's finally summer temps around here! Daughter and I are hitting the movie theater to avoid the temps (even though our basement is deliciously cool).

Lunch time workout was Kettlelbell Express. This is a hard-hitting 30 min workout! I was swing the bells yesterday for only a few minutes, and today my hamstrings and glutes are TIGHT! So, after another 30 mins of 'bells today I'm guessing that I'll be crippled! LOL!

Laurissa had us doing groupings of three today, such as: 20 double handed swings, 15 burpies, 20 double handed swings. Or 15 clean and press (one side), 20 bootstraps, 15 clean and press (other side). There were more like exercises (wood choppers, around the body with a stall, etc) but my brain refuses to remember. My body, on the other hand, remembers all too well as I continue to stiffen.

Interestingly, I dropped a bell today. My right hand has been aching lately - mostly the joints at the middle two fingers. After dropping the bell, and leaving a large DENT in Laurissa's floor, we both agreed that I should go see my chiropractor or physio. I'll see about an appointment tomorrow - which is good as I'm off in the afternoon to pick up my son from his first week at 'sleep away' camp!

Tomorrow, if I can walk, is TRX with the task-master Cole - I'm dreading it already. Now, today, I tell myself that I'll just take it easy. The problem is that tomorrow, in the class, surrounded by fitter (and often younger) people I refuse to take it easy. In my head I tell Cole "yeah, this 41 year old can BRING IT!". I'm such a freak! :)

Ok, off to the Movies - theater popcorn here I come!
