So tonight, I arrive to my kettlebell class and grab my 20lb and 25lb kettlebells prepared for what ever we may be doing. She says Turkish Getups..... This is the first time I've done more than one with 20lbs. We had to do 10 per side and she allowed us to break it up and do 5 on one side, switch and then the other 5 on the other side and switch again to complete 10 on each side. What a weird and awkward exercise at first... but once I got the hang of it , I can see how it is an all over full body workout. I felt it in my upper body, my core and my lower body as well. I officially LOVE the Turkish Getup.
After those we did a minute of swings and squats then repeat the Turkish Getups and then swings again and squats. and finished off with a Tabata ( my fave) of Planks and Pushups. I acutally did the first 2 with full pushups on the toes and then I had to go to my knees after about 5 pushups on the last two .
I still love kettlebells and am looking forward to my next workout. Although I won't have my buddy Mary or Holly there with me, they have to take the night off. But Mary and I have decided to continue working out on our own after this session of classes is over and meet twice a week at night and one day on the weekend.
I know this is the workout for me ... for life.
