HOLY COW! I am so sore. I am trying to get back into the swing of working out. I have been a pretty active person my whole life, I played sports in junior high, high school and basketball in college. Then, after college, I entered the "real world" and in the real world you have to make time for working out. In the real world you don't get in trouble if you don't show up to workout like you would if you didn't show up to a practice. In the real world you've got be your own coach and push yourself. I had been used to my sport being my job, when I was tired after a practice I felt good because I had gotten a workout from it. Unfortunately, that's not how it works in the real world!! Anyways... Fast forward a few years, a husband and a baby later and I'm raring to get going again. Lately I have been working out with these:
Kettlebells, they are kicking my butt... and I like it!
Josh and I have a friend that is a personal trainer and he specializes in Kettlebells. I asked him to put me through a workout and DANG, I'm feeling it! But I love it, I miss that feeling of a good, hard workout and getting into shape and I'm so excited to keep going! I had getting back into shape built up to be this huge obstacle to overcome and it's really not. I've realized that I don't have to be in college basketball shape and that is just unrealistic, especially with a baby. I just want to feel healthy and be active. What do you do for a good workout? I love switching it up so that things don't get repetitive and boring!

Hi Britt. I just stumbled upon your blog :) I actually am in the same boat (only I dont have a little one yet). I swam in college and was so used to being in shape then life happened. I have been getting back into swimming and working out again too and I forgot how good it feels.
Good luck!!
You go girl! I'm a kettlebeller too! I absolutely love them. Best workout ever by far. They really get your heart rate going and totally transform your body.
