Swedish Kettlebellers!

Tonight's Ice Chamber Kettlebell Class

We had a rad kettlebell class at the Ice Chamber tonight. There were some visitors from Sweden, and the structure of the class was totally solid. There was a nice mix of instruction, practice, critique and then flat-out working-out via the long cycle clean and jerk. I've graduated bells too, which is always a landmark and not a move taken lightly in this forum. You can't BS or muscle shit when you're doing a 10 minute cycle.

P.S. That's me up there in that picture...tiny little me...back row all the way to the left. Wee little me in the grey top. LOL!

That's me 3rd one down the line (pink bell)

Back in the saddle in 2011

After I did that in October (up there). I did this (down there) in November.

And then, I took a wee lil' rest. Still went to the Ice Chamber weekly, but at a much reduced rate, and I scaled back the running, and ramped up the holiday eating. Now it's 2011.

After setting some clear boundaries at work - i.e. I'm not working 12+ hours every day and missing my fitness classes, I'm back in the swing of things and full-time at the Ice Chamber. It's been fantastic. I adore that place. It's my mental sanity. It's my health. It allows me to pig out when I need to and it's getting me back to my tip-top shape, which probably peaked in July.

Joe made the cut at about 0:11. He's the dog in the background looking at all of us humans thinking: "W-T-F?!"
