Finally - someone moved down here who’s a certified Russian Kettlebell instructor guy… and and and!!! He’s giving a free group workout and "checking on skills" type thing this weekend!   Unfortunately only half of my local kettlebell buddies (1 out of 2, the bearded boyfriend of my "women’s feats of strength" friend) can go with me, but we are going to take some serious freaking notes!  There’s going to be a whole lot of "hey, am I doing this correctly????" on my part - I can’t wait to get some constructive criticism on this stuff.  Heck it doesn’t even have to be constructive - he can even be mean about it, I don’t care - I’ll try harder!   Will definitely be setting up some one-on-one sessions though - absolutely - as I want to eventually be certified with that myself - and start building an AMAZON ARMY! (nothing against my cool guy friends of course, you guys can always participate too).  It’ll be awesome just to see who shows up - might make some new friends and training partners - I really hope it doesn’t rain…………..
Hey!  Can you tell who had too much green tea this morning?  Its sometimes embarrassing just how enthusiastic some tea can make me.   But seriously though, I’ve been looking for a teacher for SO LONG that it isn’t even funny.

BTW, if you are in the Orlando area and want to attend, send me a message and I will get you the info on this free to the public kettlebell workout session on Saturday.

First off, its funny, but working out at this particular gym has resulted in workouts that are noticeably LESS INTENSE than what I do at home.   Though tonight should be the big pay off - I’m going to hold off on other exercises (other than a warm up) before doing the bench press - and hopefully come up with a new 1RM calculation.   I like working out with this particular couple of friends because they are not afraid to go a little heavy themselves, and are trusted spotters, they do tend to do a lot less stuff per session though - and well, I hate to say it, but I’m looking forward to getting back to my crazy kitchen-timer-dictated home kettlebell stuff….    in the spirit of fun and balance though, I added a power rack and adjustable weight bench to my Amazon Wishlist…. as if someone would ever surprise me with something like that….  oh well, I’ll buy one myself someday, when I have space for a "facility" of my own.
