Russian Kettlebells

I know I've talked about this subject before, but I just can't say enought about Russian Kettlebell workouts.  I truly believe I've become addicted to them.  I've worked out with them 5 times this week and here it is Friday afternoon and I can't wait to get home to get swingin'!  My next workout purchase is going to be The Extreme Kettlebell Workout or may the Russian KB Challenge.  I can't decide.  Maybe I'll get both!

  They don't have a pic of the other one, but I do know it's a little cheaper than this one.  Kettlebells give the advantage of cardio, strengthening and conditioning all in one workout, so you don't really have to work longer, just smarter!

It Just Keeps Getting Better!


Just when I thought I'd gotten the best kettlebell workout possible, I ordered Kettlebell Bootcamp by Angie Miller.  It just keeps getting better and better.  There are 8 workouts on this DVD.  I haven't done them all yet, but I've gotten up to 5!  And they are tough, but FUN.  Exercise used to be just down-right boring to me.  All those repetitous ups and downs, side to sides, over and over again.  No wonder I have so many videos of so many different types of workouts.  I just couldn't find the "right" one for me.  Now I have and I just can't say enough good stuff about kettlebells.

Sarah Lurie

Wow!  I just finished this workout by Sarah Lurie.  I just bought a 10 lb. kettlebell.  I was using an 8 lb. but it was sand filled or whatever they use and the handle was wider than a Russian kettlebell, so I decided to take the plunge.  I bought a 10 lb. Russian kettlebell.

This is a circut-type workout of three sets of each exercise but it is designed to be able to mix and match.  I haven't tried that yet.  I'm still sweating from the first workout!  I love these little bells.  They give you a cardio workout, strengthening and conditioning all in one workout in less time than any other type of workout I've ever done.  Excuse me, now, I must go lie down!!

Lights, Camera, Action!

I often wondered what all went into making a movie or a film.  Hey, I just have a simple RCA camcorder called the Small Wonder.  It's good enough for me.  I don't want all that fancy stuff that takes forever to figure out, adjust, set, measure lighting, distance and whatever else goes into it.  I made a video of my cat talking to me about me giving her treats and it's one of the best memories I've have when she's gone.  What I
like about it is you can record for a long time and copy it to your computer and burn a cd or a dvd right in your own home for just the cost of the disc.  Easy.  I get too confused with that fancy stuff. Plus it's a lot cheaper and easier to use. Just aim and shoot.  What could be nicer than that. And you can play it back right away.


    











This 3rd one is the one I have.  You can flip it out and record your own self, too! How 'bout that!
