Obsession

I am completely, hopelessly, and overwhelmingly obsessed with kettlebells and gymnastics (not the two together, but as two separate subjects). Let's talk kettlebells first.

Why I am obsessed with kettlebells

• They are cute
• They are not mainstream (I LOVE that!)
• You can do so much with them
• I know so little

So these days I spend lots of time on sites like artofstrength.com (EXCELLENT video newsletters), certain-kettlebell-fitness.com, and tacticalathlete.com. I read articles, watch video exercise demos, and take notes, all in the hopes of incorporating some of these great movements into client workouts.

Now, why I am obsessed with gymnastics

• My kids (as you well know) are gymnasts
• I believe there are ways to incorporate basic gymnastics movements into any quality training program
• But how???

That "but how?" is the kind of thing that will keep me up in the middle of the night.

Maybe this is all a sign that training is exactly what I should be doing, because even as I type this, and a part of me thinks I sound like an absolute nut job, the truth is that I really don't care. I am completely, hopelessly, absolutely fascinated with all things fitness. And that is A-ok with me!

Ha!

(If you write to tell me I'm crazy, say it nice, ok?)
