Kettlebells again!
Again skipped cardio. Did some great padwork in Muay Thai class then 20min of lazy cardio cause of my knee and then an hr of kettlebells. I went super light with the weights this time because I refused to be sore again! Though I did feel it already afterwards.

After a full rest day
Sunday I rested. OK I didnt sleep enough. BC was throwing up after his fight and our other friend got knocked out. So it took a while to leave the venue. By the time we got home it was almost 3am.

A workout that can burn up to 900 calories per minute AND I'm toning and lengthening!!!
I HAD to share my excitement about Corey Hill's kettlebells workout! A kettlebell workout can burn up to 20 calories per minute so you can do the math on a 45 minute class! It is hard and non stop but Corey keeps you focused and makes it fun so time just flies. By the time class is over, you're standing in a little puddle of sweat! At first I was worried about swinging t

Tatiana and Her Kettlebells
On the hunt for the healthiest person in town... Introducing our newest feature: Snapshots of hardcore people we meet out and about in the gym, at the studio, on the trails...
Who: Tatiana Lopez, Personal Trainer and RKC Kettlebell Certified Instructor (Yes, that's a big deal).

What She Said: "Kettle bells are a handheld gym. You get twice the workout in half the time because it's cardio, strength, and flexibility all in one. You use more muscles than isolated weight exercises, and you get quick fat loss because of the cardio.

I should have not...
...taken Kettlebells before a 5 hour Kali seminar. But I did and the class was super fun but super brutal.

Way too much touching for my Saturday Yoga.
Its been a while since I did kettlebells! I really pushed myself today deadlifting and swinging my max. It was a fun class even though us girls lost the contest AGAIN. I tried Yoga at the gym and was disappointed. I tried so hard not to be mad at all the touching but its like she wasn't even trying to go for any verbal instruction. It was, quite honestly, an obscene amount of touching.

If an amputee can do Capoeira, so can you!
2 things are cool about this image of my Capoeira Batizado this year...1- Everyone is wearing my t-shirt design! 2-Check out the guy in the middle of the Roda (circle). He's an amputee!!!! Guess what? He is one of the highest cords in my whole group -he holds classes and teaches! Isn't that insanely awesome?
