Lifting and kettlebells

After walking around the zoo for several hours yesterday, I was exhausted.  This morning, I slept in and recovered, but I did get to the basement this afternoon to do some lifting.  The kids were severely annoying me, so I needed it. They did follow me, but they were out of their funk then, and we had a good time.  My daughter (3 years old) did a lot of my warm up with me.

I did the 2nd workout of New Rules of Lifting for Women, Stage 6, Workout B.  It's not a super-intense workout, but still challenging enough given heavy enough weights.  Afterward, I did some practice with kettlebells using Pavel Tsatsouline's Enter the Kettlebell DVD.  It's rather cheesy, but very good instruction.

Stage 6B2-2

Warm up - FBB (10:00)

Reverse Lunge, One Dumbbell at Shoulder - 1x8@20#, 1x8@22.5#, 1x8@25#

Back extension - 3x8@25# (on bench with legs under squat rack safety)
