So I got measured to be 24.8 percent body fat.<\/p>\n
Dude talked about skinny fats.<\/p>\n
Said strength training was how to move my number down.\u00a0 I’m on week 2 of that LL Cool J platnum body workout still, never quite making it to week 3.\u00a0 Getting to a gym is tough and boring.<\/p>\n
Enter the wifey.\u00a0 She knows my mental roadblocks and limitations. She hits yelp.\u00a0 She finds a kooky extreme workout that looks nutty enough for me to get behind.\u00a0 Kettlebells.<\/p>\n
4 classes, every wednesday at the park down the street.\u00a0 35 pound Kettlebells.\u00a0 I like the description some others have come up with.\u00a0 I used to say its like a medicine ball with a handle. But people got soft images. The new phrasing – it’s like a cannonball with a handle.<\/p>\n
They hurt.\u00a0 There’s nothing nice about them. Except that they are portable and versatile. That’s the only nice part. The not so nice part is the unseen deep brusing on my arms.\u00a0 The crazy stress on my hamstrings. Chuck threw his back out a bit.<\/p>\n
Though the reassuring part of that experience was when he went to search about back injuries and kettlebells, all he found was people talking about how doing their kettlebell work outs eliminated all their back pain.<\/p>\n
And when he went back to class, the instructor, Harinder, was great about it. Supportive – concerned about form, etc.\u00a0 I really like the dude actually. He’s intense, yet friendly and seems to really care about people getting things right.<\/p>\n
Looking at his bio on his website, he’s got a CS degree, and he also instructs people on Kina Mutai – the art of biting and eye gouging.\u00a0 Reading up on that a bit, Kina Mutai is really the art of biting and pinching, but since the most desired place to pinch is the eyeball, those in the know, just call it eye gouging. That’s interesting background too.<\/p>\n
I’m signing up for the next set of kettlebell classes. They do these crazy pushups that I want to learn too.<\/p>\n
I just feel silly driving 2 little neighborhood blocks to the park. But I can’t carry the kettlebells to class.\u00a0 And Sal doesn’t have a wagon.\u00a0 A wagon would have been sweet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
