It was a good one wasn’t it? We got a few new exercises that worked different arm muscles. A new kettle bell exercise. High pulls aka: ‘snowblower/wood splitter pull’, it was definitely one that required a smaller kettle bell than we are used to grabbing.
For those that weren’t there, we put the kettlebell in one hand, did a squat and snapped up pulling the kettlebell up our body up to our ear in a straight line. It reminded me of pulling the lawnmower cord but since there’s snow on the ground, it becomes the snowblower. I believe there is a lawnmower dance… as well as the sprinkler, only those aren’t as strenuous! Oh joy of joys aren’t we lucky?The second new exercise was using the TRX. One arm curls aka: Popeye curls. ‘I yam what I yam, cuz I eat me spinach…’ They were much harder than they looked, especially since I had to pull my weight literally up by one arm – eek! Guess I had better beef up the spinach intake.
So, it was terrific Tuesday with new exercises, vertical pushups, 2leg hip/thighs, calf bounces… it was a tough one that left the arms tingling and the calves screaming. It was a workout concentrating on a different set of muscles.
Thank you for a Terrific Tuesday! It was a difficult yet exhilarating one.
Blog you later.
