This is an exact copy & paste from my notes page where I intended to record my Pre/Present/After working out thoughts, feelings, and sensations with my new kettle bells from Bolt Fitness.

Pre workout interview with self.

I am excited to get in a FULL kettle bell workout. I hope to gain confidence in my fundamentals with the kettle bell technology. As well as grow my toolbox of exercises and skills with the weight. It’ll be even cooler when I get the mirror and put it up to watch my workouts!

Present during the workout.

I AM SO EXCITED TO PLAY WITH MY NEW TOYS!!!!! Let me remember to warm up and add some abs this morning. Watched a quick YouTube video to guide me. Did 100 swings.

Fuck this was way easier in the other weight but I could tell my fundamentals weren’t great. Now with the heavier weight to balance me, I can focus on just getting my hips and glutes to engage. Not the knees or my back. This workout is all core and glutes.

After action report on the workout itself and the process of the workout overall.

Fuck 100 swings kicked my ass! I chose to workout to some DJ Diesel to pump me up. I’m glad I added abs with my yoga warmup. I’m happy I got to engage just the glutes. I can tell the Lhip is still weak and unfamiliar with the movement but it’s trying its best.

I’m glad I got the weights this week. I’m proud that I’m sticking with my commitment through this new year!
