Kettlebell and Converse. What more could a girl want?

I have recently discovered a new fitness tool that is such a blast! Kettlebells!

That "heavy iron ball with a handle" is the first kettlebell I've ever played with. It's only 20lbs, but it kicks my butt! I hope to be able to get a heavier one in the near future, but this one is still an appropriate weight for a lot of moves I do with it. Lately, I've taken to fastening my ankle weights to it for added weight when I do swings, so I hope to move up soon. If you ever want to get fit with a fun weight, this is it! Some people even "juggle" with them, doing moves that has the bell catching air while they try to catch the bell. I can't wait for spring so I can start doing this too. I definitely don't want to do this in the house, as drops are inevitable. Great cardio, strength-building, fitness tool!

My son bought me these Converse sneakers for me to work out in. I just love them! They have a graphic of The Four Horsemen of the Apocolypse on them.
