Mediocre Runners

I did a modified Helen workout yesterday and tweaked my back from a bad kettlebell swing.  But I still have a lot of love for the kettlebells.  By far, my favorite Crossfit exercise is the Kettlebell swing.  Even though I’m still working on my form, I can’t help but have a good time swinging the KBs.  The fun sometimes masks how f-ing hard doing 21 kettlebell swings can be after a 400m spring on the row, especially on the last round.  I hope my back gets better soon so I can swing away soon.

My stats for Helen were mediocre at best.  Keep in mind at the Globo gym, each station is on a different floor.  Also, we have escalators at my gym and people actually just stand there. Isn’t the whole point of the gym to exercise? They are probably on there way to the ellipticals.

• 400 meter row
• 35 Kettlebell swing x 21
• Pull-ups 12 reps (85 lbs assisted)
• 21:08

Are we cool here at MR?  Well of course not!  What about crossfit?  Is that cool?  Well don’t take our word for it, take a look at what a very popular celebrity thinks.  I know I voted for her, twice!
