Fitness!!!!!

Hey guys! How was every one's week? I'm still having Internet issues so the only computer access I have is at work right now bummer, but I'm hoping that changes this week (hoping!). Anyway I hope everyone had as good a week as I had, I lost five pounds! Woo hoo time to celebrate. Now i know my body and any week I have a big loss is going to be followed by a week of little to no weight loss. Its totally okay, the numbers on the scale while important are not near as important as being fit.

So Wednesday my grandmother calls me to ask me what I want for Christmas, my reply, kettlebells. To which my grandmother responds kettle-what? What are you cooking (I come from a group of very domesticated kitchen-orientated women) and why would a kettle be shaped like a bell? I told her noooo nana a kettlebell is this exercise tool I use it is basically a canon ball with a handle. The Russians developed it to train their army and man is it a good training tool. Unlike dumbbells the kettlebell's center of mass is extended beyond the hand, allowing for swinging movements. What is so amazing about a kettlebell workout is it engages your core, strengthens your back, legs, shoulders and arms and is a resistance and cardio workout in one. For an hour's work you do what should have probably taken two hours.

I recommend the kettlebells to anyone a man or a woman. They vary in weight from 3lb all the way to 35lbs so as you get stronger all you have to do is move up in weight (i'm actually going to buy a 15lb kettlebell this week, I'm currently using a 10lbs one). You don't have to spend any money on videos to teach yourself how to use a kettlebell, I learned how to use it via Youtube! The best informative videos are by a girl named Marianne, her channel is all about kettlebells from beginner to advanced. Her channel is http://www.youtube.com/user/Kitty8Tim and she also has a more informative website: http://www.myomytv.com . Check it out. You can get really cheap kettlebells at Wal - Mart (even cheaper at walmart.com) and you don't have to go to a gym to use them. Do it home all you need is some space and about an hour and you will have an awesome full body exercise! Try it and remember while your swinging your kettlebell to go strong no matter what!!! Bye guys!
