Kettlebells are a good workout... but it's exhausting... it sure felt intermediate to advanced for my first time: there were 10 exercises, 50 repetitions each! :))
- Took a lighter kettlebell:
a 12kg one. - Aimed for 40 reps instead of 50.
- Did 2 exercises without the kettlebell at all, just to learn the proper movement, and to keep the balance on one leg.
- Focused a bit on my breathing, to keep my heart steady
(I wasn't too successful at that). - Even took breaks when I needed. Plenty of them!
- But still, by the time I got to 50 push ups I was sooo tired that I couldn't even complete 20 on my knuckles and in proper position.
Had to take another break before I could do more. - Still, I was constantly watching my back, to keep it straight, and my spine as tall as I could.
I found it to be very interesting; even if it sounds a bit like complaining. Sharing what I noticed: kettlebells offer the opportunity to learn so much: to ask your body so many questions, and to get so many answers; to get so much feedback from your body...
And she's right: this week I did karate, yoga, running, today kettlebell... I didn't even notice until I read it. But I'm happy to see that: I want to raise my overall energy level and stamina, to increase my health and fitness, to lower my cholesterol, to create a foundation for a healthy and happy lifestyle and...
I'm taking action!
