Time to Awake

The weather is getting warmer in the mornings. That means it's time for me leave hibernation and get up early and work out. I woke at 6 am this morning and started a kettlebell workout from Youtube. I subscribe to fitnessblender on youtube. They have a lot of different themes to work out to. I chose a 30 minute session that was supposed to be HIT. It wasn't extreme but was a great workout to get my heart and lungs going this morning. I really like kettlebells. They feel so natural in movement.

I plan to do 2 workouts per week in the morning with kettlebell/cardio and 2 yoga/stretch sessions. Adding this to BJJ x 3 times per week and a squat/deadlift sesion once per week each, I think I am gonna be busy. A friend asked me if I ever get time to be home - I do, somehow. The kids still know what I look like.

Kettlebell Workout

After getting home last night I worked out for 40 minutes with a kettlebell. I'm starting to get used to the unusual feel of the weight. I'd like to get a box of chalk dust though because when my hands are sweaty I worry it will go flying through a wall or something disastrous. My Turkish getups are getting a bit better too. They are a very similar movement to the BJJ technical standup. My legs were wobbling a little after the workout so I know I worked hard.
