I think what bothers me most is the word diet. I see posts on Facebook, hear it within conversations, but the word “diet” is so commercialized. It’s an instant money maker. I’m not saying commercialized diets don’t work (Atkins, Weight Watchers, ZONE, etc). They do. But for how long? How well? How do they make you feel? How much money are you spending on frozen meals, bars, cereals aka specialty diet products?

I am SO excited we are doing these exercises!! They keep it completely interesting and challenging. I love the way my body feels after a routine like this. We are working on getting heavier kettles to keep pushing ourselves. Eventually we want to start timing ourselves once we get the routine down. Some researching on other routines is a must as well!

Kettle Circuit
I’m SO excited for today. It is not only BEAUTIFUL out, but it’s tire flipping and kettle day!! I plan on signing up for a couple of classes next week to really get into kettlebells. There’s allll sorts of moves out there, and it kind of becomes a dance. (weird!! I know!!) Especially when you workout with another person, you have to constantly be in sync with them. Corey and I do two exercises together. After work I’m running over to TSA to get a heavier kettle!!
