Kettle Bells...Love!!

I'm getting back into shape. I've got a way to go, but I am on the path. You CANNOT obtain and sustain weight loss without exercise and healthy eating. PERIOD. It's calories in vs. calories out. If you're taking in more calories than your body needs the excess will go on vacation around your gut!! I've served the eviction notice. Sweat is fat crying...and there is a whole lotta cryin goin on at my house these days..lol!!

I use my lunch break during the week to get my cardio workouts. Recently I discovered kettle bells. Round weights with a handle. The core exercise to working out with kettle bells is The Swing. From the swing many other exercises stem. Kettle bell exercise originated in Russia. Their army uses them to stay fit, lean, and strong.

A site I've found helpful:

Dragondoor.com

Dragon Door has a forum too...great place to ask the trainers. I don't have the luxury of living near a trainer with experience with kettle bells. Just ordered my first DVD from them over the weekend- "hard style Swing". Excited for it to arrive. I get my kettle bells at Walmart. Dragon Door has these for sale too, but a bit pricey. I can already see I need to purchase more bells. I have 5# and 8# bells. I need at least 18# to start. So I'm making do and using the 8# until I can make another Walmart run. Got to start somewhere!!

Helpful blogs on blogger who also work for Dragon Door:

Tracy Reifkind:
Incredible story and look at her now!! She lost over 100# working out with kettle bells and sound nutrition of course.

So who knows. :) we will see how it goes. I'll blog about my ups and my downs along the way.

Get out there and get MOVING!!!!!!

Seriously consider adding kettle bells to your program, if you don't have a program..then consider starting with kettle bells!! Do some research on them.
