For the past few weeks I've been taking a kettle bell workout class at the local park district with my mom. I've been intrigued by kettle bell workouts for a while because I keep reading about how fabulous they are for you. Though whenever I was in the free-weights area of the gym I was too intimidated to actually pick one up and use it, because well I had no freaking clue what to do. So, a class where I could learn some technique and exercises twice a week sounded fabulous. Now I consider myself to be in relatively good shape, lifting weights twice a week, running 5 miles three times a week, and other cardio exercises 3 times a week as well as doing the Brazilian Butt Workout (by BeachBody) - let me tell you that kettle bell class kicks my ass. We do a different routine each week, and some are thankfully easier than others, but besides doing BeachBody's Insanity program I've never done anything more challenging in my life. But after a month of going to the class, both my mom and I are seeing results so it's worth the effort.
Bottom line: if you are plateauing with your workouts, add kettle bells. I know that different companies make DVDs and you can buy a kettle bell at Walmart or Target. So get "kettle-belling" people!
