[…] after Arkansas we went to Indiana for Christmas where I worked out in the snow. After Indiana we headed down to Mammoth Cave National Park in Kentucky where we decided to wait […]

Thanks Jen!
I will keep with the one bell for now then… it’s plenty heavy. It was funny that I just mentioned to my dear Hubby one day that I was thinking about this new kind of work out and he went right out and bought me one. It was too heavy to overhead press at first, but I am making progress. Or at least I was before Christmas. Time to start back to it.
I hope you don’t mind my questions. I have one more. I have been going right into swings without any warm up. Should I be doing something as a warm up first?

Thanks again.

I love this video! That was a perfect snow. Thank you for helping me with kettle bells while you were in Indiana. I’ve already started adding the new moves to my gym routine.

Hi Janet!

One bell works just fine and aside from a slightly wider stance with two bells the technique is the same. Two bells make it a little bit harder to stabilize so your core works a little harder but I don’t find it to be a noticeable difference. The biggest difference for me time. I like to do double presses to save a little time and like like the way two bells feel. You should get another bell as soon as your bell feels too light and you can press it over 5 reps easily. If that is still a struggle then just keep your bell if that is easy you will can decide whether to get another bell of the same weight or a heavier bell.

Yeah that Southern CA weather is rough. Hang in there. 😉

Love your state workouts! I am from Iowa but live in the south now, and your video makes me miss those pretty and peaceful snow days. Thanks for sharing your workout videos!

Thanks for this one! I like a workout that I can remember so that I don’t spend time looking at a paper. I only have one bell though, so I am wondering if it makes too much a difference on the swings? Should I try to get another bell soon, or will I get the same benefit with swinging the one?

Yay for snow! We’ve had a very summer-y Winter here in San Diego. It would be fun to get out in the snow to workout. I will have to struggle with just sunshine and warm breezes. 😉 No snow for me.

Looking forward to more.
Blessings,
Janet

I love your workouts! I think the Gym Buddies and I have done almost all of them that you have posted! (Never did the hot potato before you introduced it!) And how cute are you in your hat?! You need to do commercials. Seriously, you are gorGEOUS. And no I don’t say that to everyone.

Also, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year (belatedly) my dear friend! I’m sorry I haven’t been around much but I’m so grateful you are in my life!
