Kettlebells!

[bbro]

I just completed a finisher for the first time! I go to the last round and was like "I'm done" and the trainer was like "You got this! You can do it!" I may have taken a few extra seconds rest than I should have - but I FINISHED!!!

This finisher was :20/:10 with swings and what they call walkouts. I think last week's had the same timing, but I misnoted it up above. I may haven't gotten many walkouts (they are harder than you think), but I still did them!

Walkouts are when you stand with your feet apart, hinge over at the waist and put your hands on the ground, then walk to a plank position, hold and walk back. You don't bend the knees, either.

Thanks Lola - it kind of sneaks up on you - lol. Ask me a month ago or even two weeks and I would have never believed I would have been able to get through the entire workout twice now. It just goes to show that you are your worst critic. I haven't even lost much weight according to the scale, but my pants are (finally) getting bigger and I am seeing muscles everywhere. My body is definitely changing for the good

It also helps to have a community like Fitocracy. You "level up" in real life by doing workouts and gaining other achievements. The points are skewed a bit towards barbell and dumbell work, but I still think it's worth it. Nothing like getting to level 14 ....I am trying for level 20 before the end of the year!
