WOW!!!

That's all I can say after viewing the "Art of Strength" Kettlebell Training DVD. It has 14 2-minutes Kb workouts with a one minute break in between to explain the next 2-min workout/exercise. Each one by itself would be a smoker. All 14 in a row would be madness. I plan on tackling the entire video on the 4th of July. 28 minutes of butt-kicking workout with only 14 minutes of rest. It should be a blast. It's the same guy in the Kettlebell Video on the left side of this blog.

Did a nice Kb workout this morning with the other half of Crazy Wife Productions and she tried to kill me. 20 reps of every exercise or 10 on each side is not a great idea I found out this morning. Newbies like us need to take it a little slower. Me thinks they do sets of 10 or 5 on the videos for a reason... My hamstrings and glutemus are hurtin to the maximus. Actually they aren't that bad, just enough to let me know they got worked out today.

That's the cool thing about kettlebells. They are so fun to "throw" around that you don't realize they are exercise. Don't get me wrong, one minute straight of any of the exercises we've been trying out, is enough to leave me breathing heavy and sweaty. That, and they seem to whisper in your ear what all of your shortcomings are. Which shoulder is weaker than the other. Which ankle has the most trouble supporting your weight all on one leg. And they tell you that it's going to be okay because that little miraculous cannon ball on steroids is going to make it all better...

The Crazy Wife also got some books by Pavel (www.dragondoor.com) in the mail with the DVD, "Power to the People" and "Relax into Stretch". Both are skinny soft cover books that are just PACKED with some amazing information. And that's just from glancing at them. I can't wait to dig into them and start trying them out. More on those later.

We'll, that's enough for now, 04:30 comes early for us "old guys". LOL.
