Okay folks, here is my latest workout update. It might not seem like much to some of you, might seem like a lot to others. Either way, I am proud of what I'm doing and feel compelled to let you all know! After a 6 month break I feel good to be able to do the kettle bell class again.
You will see some abbreviations in this post. KB is kettle bell, SHP is sumo high pull and kg is fairly obvious.
Read, enjoy, comment, the usual...
