Hi Deanie

Wow girl you are rockin ETK I hope to be back on it once I'm done w/ CLX.

I'm still swinging my bells during the day esp. while watching the news at night but not sure how much longer I can on CLX days . I plan on doing Lauren Brook's short cardio segment just to get my kettlebell fix on my cardio days.


Big Hellos to Everyone

Well , it's the weekend ( and a beautiful one too) I'm loving this wrm weather. I think I'll take my grandson to the park again today! Yesterday was a rest day although after a couple of hours at the park I was pooped! Tonight I'm doing Newport I think and I'm going to break out the new 35# kettlebell for some swings afterward and try a couple of pullups again . I keep practicing the and my pushups so I'm hoping top build up my strength in that area

Deanie, your really are getting it done with ETK! I am tempted to try some of the rop workouts although I know I should do it like prescribed and start at the beginning!!

Vilma- have fun getting your kettlebell fix!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Good morning! Today is a cardio day TBD later, last nite I broke out the 35# for my 2handed swings in Newport and when I got tho the snatch test I did 3 minutes of snatches with my 20# bell and then finished out the next couple of minutes doing two handed swings with the 35#, whew! I can really feel it in my hamstrings today! But in a good way! The park was great warm weather and sunshine, today though we have tornado watches out since early in the morning, I'm hoping it all passes me by

Waves to Deanie, Marcy, Vilma, Farmer,Jane and all who stop by!

Hi everyone!

We also had some great weather this weekend, high 40's/low 50's both days with a little sun.

Saturday I did "Swinging Spring Cleaning". Basically, I just inserted 50 16kg swings throughout the morning while doing housework...dust the coffee table, do 50 swings...sweep the bathroom, 50 swings...I ended up with 500 swings total. DH and I took Rascal for hike in the afternoon.

Today I started out with TGUs. 5/5 @ 8kb, then 3/3 @ 12kg. I tried to do one with 16kg, but that was not going to happen without serious bodily injury.

Then I did CrossFit "Grace" with a 70lb barbell - 30 clean and press for time. 7:37

I then tried a 50lb sandbag walk. I made it 1/4 mile, but my back started to hurt so I quit there.

Deanie - I gotta say after doing TGUs this morning I'm really in awe of how you're progressing with them. The strength part is hard enough, but the focus you have to maintain (especially heavy) is tough!

Jane - I LOVE your Boot Camp creation!

Andilynn - Have fun with that new KB. How are classes going?

Vilma - Glad to see you back.

Waves hello to Farmer.
