Kettlebellin' into the New Year! Monday

Good morning!!

Deanie - Great workout! No snow days here...*sigh*. But I am going to take the afternoon off anyway and go skiing. :D Nice blog...I'm your first follower! :)

Waves hello to Jane, Melissa, Marcy and Rhonda!

No workout planned...we got about 20" of snow over the last few days, so this chick is goin' skiing this afternoon!!

Have a great day!
 
Hi Everyone!

I ran a chilly 3 miles yesterday morning. This morning it was down in the 20's and will only be in the 40's today. I am so not prepared for the cold weather. I don't even have a decent coat. It's not worth it to even buy anything since the cold weather doesn't last long.

I'm at my parent's house this week so I'll try to get in what I can but they won't be formal workouts.

Deanie ~ I'm a follower on your blog. Great workout.

Gayle ~ Have fun skiing!!

Rhonda ~ Hope you figure out what do to today!

Waves hello Marcy and Melissa!
 
Good Afternoon!

Gayle::: HAVE FUN SKIING!!! Nice to have your first day back be half a day:) I think skiing can be your workout today;) thanks for following my blog!

Rhonda::: I hope you think of something you want to do today! Low Max maybe???;)

Jane:::Thanks for being a follower on my blog! 3 miles in the chilly weather is great! I hope it warms up soon for you....if it were 40 degrees here, my boys would be wearing shorts! LOL (I on the other hand would be in sweats and a jacket!;))

Melissa::: WELL??????ETK, first day....how'd it go?????:):)

waves to Marcy: hope you got off to a great start to the new year!

Later gators!:cool:
 
Okay, I did it! I am not sure if I did it right, but I did it!

Warm up, 4 1/2 rounds for 10 minutes (those pumps take forever!)
Swings 30 seconds work/30 second rests, 12 minutes
***I did 35# for the first 6 rounds then my forearms were SIZZLING so I backed down to a 25#, and alternated between the two kbs for the rest of the workout. I NEED TO WORK ON MY FOREARMS!
***Got 21 swings in each round for a total of 252 swings
***The swings weren't a great cardio challenge (like they were when I first started), but it was definitely a mental challenge: I have NEVER done that many swings before, let alone doing them all in a row!!!

Also: Did 10 minutes of Cindy afterwards, 7 rounds plus 5 pull ups and 10 push ups - needed the chair for assistance after 4 rounds of pull ups

Did I do it right? It felt funny not doing the ETK workbook as rx'd, though I understand that those exercises are to build up your endurance, which I definitely have (except for in the forearms ;]). It was a challenge, that's for sure - my booty was feeling nice and tight by the end! I was able to keep good form, just thought I might accidentally let go of the kb a few times.

Deanie, question: do you think it would be alright for me to do a workout in the morning, and then do TGUs seperately in the afternoon? I was thinking of running in the a.m.
I can't believe how heavy of a bell you used :eek::eek::eek: You give me something to aspire to! :):eek:
I saw your blog but don't know how to be a follower (I am the oldest, and therefore a natural born leader... get it? okay, that was stupid :p) but I will figure it out. I have a blogspot, too, I just haven't done anything with it.
How was your first day back??? I called DH today to cheer him on; he took most of the break off, and it was hard for him to go back in today. I am making a steak dinner for him tonight, with potatoes and squash - his favorite fixings.

Gayle, have fun skiing!!! Are you very good?

Jane, WOW that's cold for you neck of the woods isn't it? Do you have a winter coat?

Rhonda, oooh, surprises and spontenaity! I can't wait to hear what you did tonight. :D Have you gone back to work yet? Are the kids crazy??? :p

Gotta run and start my steak dinner. Sometimes I feel like I do a louzy job as wife and mother, but tonight I am so gonna rock! :D:D:D

See you later
Melissa
 
Melissa::: great job today with the swings!!!! and yes you did it right. :) Good job with Cindy, I think I may do that one day too! I think that's fine if you run in the am and do tgu's later. Enjoy your run! I am going to do 11 min. of tgu's and a rope or jumprope tabata I think.... My first day back was okay.

"Sometimes I feel like I do a louzy job as wife and mother, but tonight I am so gonna rock!" :D:D:D

LOL !!I'm sure you rock as a wife :cool:

waves to everyone!! Have a good evening!!
