I blogged about our new challenge...getting ready to one day (when we can afford it) take the RKC instructors class. Today we were out in the yard, the girls were playing, Clark was weeding the garden for me and I had the camera snapping pictures. Later in the afternoon, Clark and I had our kettlebells out in the yard doing some training. I had never attempted a kettlebell snatch but with Clark's encouragment, I got it today! I was nervous, but after a few attempts, I had it down! :-) While I was working, Clark picked up my camera and snapped some pictures of me. A lot of people have asked me what a kettlebell is and all, so as shy as I may be about posting these pictures, I decided to post some a few that Clark got. There are never really attractive pictures of anyone working out...I have goofy looks on my face, but you can get an idea of what training with kettlebells is like.

I absolutely LOVE training with kettlebells and recomend them to anyone looking for a new challenge in their workout! They are fun and a complete workout! I am using a 12 kg or 26 lb bell in these pictures. I often use a 16 kg or 36 lb one when I am working two arm swings. Clark also has a 20 kg or 44 lb bell that I can't swing yet...but one day I will get there, LOL! They are tons of fun to use...
