Finally Did a Kettlebell Workout

Today I finally dragged out one of my kettlebell CDs and both my little kettlebells (only a 10-pounder and a 15-pounder) to give them a try. It was actually pretty fun and my legs were sore afterwards, so I knew I at least got a great lower body workout. I used the 10-pounder for the first section and the 15-pounder for the second two sections. I'd like to get a 20-pounder soon because I know for some of those exercises I could have gone heavier.

The workout was Kettlebells the Iron Core Way, Volume 1 with Sarah Lurie. It was not the finest production I've seen, but it was a pretty good workout. My legs were shaking afterward as I had to go upstairs to get Ewan down for his nap. After I put him down, I did a stretch with my foam roller (the DVD didn't include a stretch). I look forward to doing Volume 2 soon. I'm also looking for other good kettlebell workouts. I loved swinging that sucker around and the great moves. I was a little worried on the one-arm swings that I'd accidentally let go and the kettlebell would fly into the TV, but luckily that didn't happen. I also banged my arm a couple times, so maybe I need some wrist pads or something.

My shoulders were also sore, but they seemed to be sore before I even started, so I'm guessing that's from yesterday's workout--Strike Zone with Tracey Staehle (which I loved, review to come soon).
