Goals for Next Week: Kettlebells

Hi All~

I'm loving hearing your goals for next week! Many of your are trying a new exercise or class and you've inspired me! I bought a kettlebell a few months back and use it every now and then in place of dumbbells, but I know it's got a lot more potential than this! In the most recent journal from ACSM, I read that while kettlebells are traditionally known for strength training, they increase the heart rate to the same level as you would by jogging at a 6 mile per hour pace. The good news is that I can count this as my cardio and strenght training in one, just like our functional workouts! So, my goal for next week is to do a full session of kettlebell training--I'll let you know how it goes! Thanks for the motivation!
