Stronger

     Two weeks. I don't think I need to say anything more than that. I had a hankering for some kettlebell work for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I love kettlebells because they're both simple and yet wildly variable in what you can do with them. Secondly, I couldn't workout in the dungeon because there's too much shit in the way. So... kettlebells it was.

     I found this HIIT workout on Youtube. It looked pretty "doable", so I decided to give it a go. I mean, it was just 40 seconds of each movement. Any ninny can do 40 seconds. I'm fairly certain I died somewhere around the 12 minute mark, was resurrected by the grace of the All Father himself and then brutally and shamelessly punished for the next 18 excruciating minutes. Some of the exercises I could only get 20-25 seconds of, and I modified the crunches because I was on a hard floor and my tailbone was screaming (I put my hands under it to shut it up). I also opted to not do the hand-to-hand swings because of the fact that I was inside and really didn't want to drop the friggin thing on my laminate floor. 

     I would like to give a shout out to my friend Jenny because she's been very encouraging about being in a healthier place. Even when it doesn't seem like I'm listening, I am. I take it all in and let it ruminate for a bit. 

     I think this workout is a keeper. I did it all with my 35lb bell but I definitely need to keep at it to get proficient. 

Here's to getting faster, and stronger before something kills me.
