Saturday's Circuit Class





Lately I have been having many more women show up to the classes. To be honest with you, I think that the girls overall are tougher than the boys! I'm sure you guys know that though.

Today it was a mix of beginners, intermediate and advanced kbellers. So it gave the advanced people a chance to go heavier than they are use to safely. Here is the workout. I took a couple pictures to give you an idea of what it looked like.

Warmed up with Joint Mobility

Body Weight Squats 15 x 3
Windmills 3 x 3
Low Swings 15 sec
Medium Swings 15 sec
Alternating Swing 30 sec
Medium Swings 15 sec
Low Swings 15 sec

Rest for 1 minute and Repeat 2 times

Circuit 30 seconds on 30 seconds off with a partner

Kettlebell Tricep Pushups
Alternating Step Ups
Double Clean, Squat, and Press
Knee Tucks on skateboard
Alternating Snatches
Ring Rows

Repeat 3 times

Finished with a Plank Hold and Stretched! Another gorgeous day!

Boy was I wrong! If you're feeing the same way, start by reading this article I wrote many years ago that still applies today! Many people have asked and here is part of my experience.  I don't claim to be a medical expert but not only have I successfully healed my C-section, my abdominals are no longer numb, and I've successfully helped others who've had multiple C-sections (even some 20 years ago) find their core aga

Let's Talk About Butts (Butt "on" Workouts)
