Kettlebell Kickboxing: Every Woman's Guide to Getting Healthy, Sexy, and Strong

Anderson shows that Kettlebell is exclusive as the exercises done by dumbell are a subset o exercises possible with kettlebell. Do you know which of your exercise works out the posterior chain? Kettlebell swing will help you with that.

Around the World

Continuing my kettle bell mania, I had fun with the around the world move where you have to move the kettlebell around you. For this and the russian swing I used 25 pounds but for the American swing where yout ake the kettlebell overhead, I only used 15 pounds. For the deadlift when I had to activate the hips and legs, I could feel the effect. The workout did get tough, but it was empowering too without being too easy. I liked it that the other direction in the around the world, counted as another move. Happy exercising.
I started with 10 min elliptical and possibly 12 min of the kettlebell workout. It was fun to feel both athletic with the elliptical as well as strong with the strength training. 

Less is more

Sometimes finding the right workout for the time that you have, can make it feel like you won the Tetris game. I was trying out an isometric workout (I was warm by then with a 30 min elliptical). when I realise dthat I had t repeat what I had just done 2 more times, I looked for kettlebell workouts. At first I thought 20 min, but there wasnt that much time. 10 min kettlebell workout seemed just right. It is well structured too. You end it with three sets of kettlebell pull throughs. I was silly the rest of the day that in technical terms I exercised the posterior chain. Between these sets was a tricep, what else can you ask for? And I am still in the high of feeling that I am an athlete and getting stronger.

I remind myself of this, but nah not there yet. Sometimes I am just glad that someone else does the hardwork of counting in all the exercise videos. Heard of it in Arnold schwarzenegger speech.

Later I was thinking of why BodyFit by Amy felt good to work with. Well, its better than a book even with wonderful pictures. Especially with strength workouts. Real people, not too televised.

I think its the neuron mirroring part of having a person workout alongside, even though you are the one trying to do the atchup. Attic Mystery no. 7 at 5:57 is a very funny riddle of how you think the world is like you and vice a versa that you are like the world you are in.

After a week of cold and no exercise, I started elliptical yesterday and I knew that I was going to feel it this morning. Its just weird to have to feel that as a person who worksout atleast 4 days a week.

More workout

Today we did the p90x total body plus abs. Usually I stop at the kids play. But today we went through it. 3x3 (3 squats and other things) and 1x1 (one push up, one pull up)  were tough and fun. You get through them at your pace. Spiderman jumps where I started jumping after a couple of mimicing jumps. You do these for 2 minutes each. After all this, I wanted to do a bit more strenth training especially after liking 10 min kettlebell workout previously. I only did a few minutes of Full body workout  with kettlebell, but it was fun. I want to understand the motivation of these various workouts.
I felt my core stronger, as I was asking more of it.

Kettle gryp

If you dont have kettlebell but have kettlebell exercises that you got to do, then get a kettle gryp on it.

Kettle Motivational Fitness Sports Bottle

Recently I read a book, Own the Day, Own your Life by Aubrey Marcus and changed my ways of drinking water. I find that the bottle with the oz markers is very helpful. I fill it to 16 oz per meal and try to finish it by the next. Even though the bottle has 20 oz marker, I go for the baby steps, its like customising the sand hour-glass for the time increments that are realistic.

This bottle below has helpful time markers too, to show you when to drink the water by. You are aware of the time in many ways, as you are always looking at it, on your phone, on your laptop. How about using that for your benefit or increasing your water intake? It likes a scheduled appointment, ensuring that it gets done.

I have now increased my water content by 1% after reading this book.




What are your techniques for ensuring that your water intake is good?

Dani Thompson Glamour Workout

Dani Thompson Glamour Workout 

Dani Thompson makes kettlebell look so benign with the ease with which she does tricep workout. There are many new exercises in this 4 volume workout - bent extensions, side leans, diamond crunches. Love the one-side boat stretches. You might take longer than the video says for the counts of exercises. If you want to reach the vount, pause the video, finish it and then move on or move on with how many counts you have reached, so you follow all the exercises. Either way, you can have a 5-20 minute workout as your schedule, body, energy permit.
Without too much jumping, you get ins erious exercise with strength training, core, abs and stretches.

One of the exercie is called spotty dog named after a puppet from the 'Watch With Mother' tv programme 'The Woodentops'.

Another is called grapevines.

If you dont try you wont know

Today I was doing v-up from Level 3 of Alex Silver Fagan's  Strong for woman, I kept my hand to the side to get up in the first round. In the third round by mistake, I tried and realised that I could do it. You fail by not trying.
It was funny while trying do a wind-mill wiht kettlebell on the high hand. I reduced the weight, then it looked clean and better.
