New kettlebells and a lift!

First off, the serious stuff.  I really don't like 15-rep sets, but I did today's workout fine.  Light weights.

Fine Tune A2
1:05
Foam rolling and warm up
Plank with Alternate Arm Reach - 2x10
Complex (Deadlift, High Pull, Push Press, Reverse Lunge) - 4x8/45#
Bulgarian Split Deadlift - 2x15ea/10#ea
Single-Arm Dumbbell Chest Press on Swiss Ball -2x15ea/20#
Back Squat - 2x15/55#
Chinup - 2x10/red band

Now to the fun stuff... more equipment!  Two kettlebells, to be precise.  They are so nice.  Much nicer than my 20# Walmart Gold's Gym kettlebell.  That one is not bad for what it is, but these are simply higher quality.  I got them from KettlebellsUSA.com.  I can't wait to take them for a spin... or a swing!  I can definitely see how these can multiply.

Darn allergies! Lifted anyway.

Today was Female Body Breakthrough Fine Tune B1.  I was determined to finish the whole thing, regardless of how long it would take.  The kids joined me for a while.  They were doing deadlifts and farmer carries.

Starting to fine tune it!

Now comes the last stage of Female Body Breakthrough.  I did the whole thing even though it was longer than I wanted it to be.  My daughter came downstairs and did some lifting.  She did some deadlifts with a little bar I have.  She wanted to do yoga, though!  I timed the rests to make sure I wasn't goofing off too much.
