wow

Very inspiring.

but I have a question reagdring form. I have never touched a KB, so I am quite green when comes to their use, but should she have been bending her back like that............looked to me like back strain

I'm not sure if you are referring to the hump on her back?
She looks like she has a form of Osteoporosis. My mother had that hump.

Here is Lauren Brookes instructions on kettlebell swings

GO EDITH! I was wondering the same thing about form - but I've never used kettlebells. If that is how it is SUPPOSED to be done, I don't think I'll every try them. Looks like risk for injury would be too great for me. But Edith is very impressive

Her form is a bit off. She is rounding her back and swinging a bit too high. But at her age I am impressed with the fact that she's even trying.

WOW! I'm impressed! I'm only 10 years away from her. She does great with that kettlebell.

She's actually doing the Active American Swing. It does go overhead, as opposed to the standard chest-high (Russian) swing. It's the default swing used by CrossFit.

Go Edith!!

Go Edith!!

According to Skwigg's blog, the high (crossfit) swing is the more advanced swing

Goodness!!!
Go Edith, go Edith!

She was so cute at the end when she says "that felt quite nice".
