Kettle Bell Benefit #3

MUSCULARENDURANCE

Kettlebell exercises push your muscles,especially those in your core, to keep working repeatedly for long periods oftime. This builds muscular endurance, which helps maintain posture and form inyour workouts as well as throughout everyday life. Good posture preventsinjuries, unhealthy muscle tension, and other aches and pains.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

 

I have been bad (not keeping up with my blog but I paid theprice with Santa) and it is time to ‘throw away all my excuses” and get back toit.

I got on to this yoga kick last year and haven’tdismounted!  I started my teachertraining for yoga (forget chanting, this is full on yoga boot camp with whiningand tantrums) and I love it!! In fact, I started teaching private yoga classesat the gym (growing in leaps and bounds).

Here is something that’s gigantic for me, the 2ndhalf of the course is in Mexico and I am going!! (pinch me!!)

Although I am excited, it will be an exercise in patienceand a ton of other letting go of control stuff for me. Why? Think, two weeks; 8hours of yoga practice and instruction daily; 3 meals (vegetarian no doubt – nooffense, but I am so not a vegetarian and, no doubt, there will be a lot ofcranky behavior on my part-not too zen); being away from the gym and, thehardest for me is leaving my husband and my son for two weeks (sigh!).  “Don’t cry for me Argentina” that’swhat I get for having the most supportive family ever – continued opportunitiesfor growth!!!

Let’s touch on the growth element.  Although I am technically finished my course in December of2012, I see no end to the yoga workshops in my future.

Back to my first love of one-on-one personal training – yogahas brought a whole new sense of understanding to the way I communicate when Iam training!!! Gushing and glowing aside, I have had to revisit anatomy atanother level and understanding (fun!!!) of what verbal cues work withdifferent clients and the art of effectively spotting a client…exhaustionsetting in (will keep you guys posted on stuff)

The past year has been great and I hope for you all afantastic year.  Thanks for yourcontinued support! I hope you continue your pledge to your health andfitness!!!

 

Peace
