Sunshine Swings



It hit 36 degrees today! I had the windows open in the house. The fresh air was fantastic and refreshing. I went outside with the kettlebells and decided to spread my workout over the day. As little rest breaks from cleaning house, every hour on the hour, I went outside and did a 10x10. I also had more books to haul upstairs so every time I came downstairs to get more books, I would do a set of ten double kettlebell swings with my 12kgs . 

Stairs and swings! Good workout!

I think those couple days off from the kettlebell helped me because today, swinging doubles felt great. I was tight and in complete control. No awkwardness there at all! 

Today's breakdown is going to look a little loopy because some of it was timed while some of it was off the cuff. I just had fun with it and got my swings in. 

I even tried snatching my 14kg for the first time! I did ten snatches on each side. That felt really good. I'm working up to the 16kg but I'm not feeling quite ready for it yet. I will soon though.

So here we go! I still have to get my walk in tonight once my friend is home from work. That will be a 30 minute walk at 4mph if she is up for it.
