Seeing results!
I switched up my training routine a few months ago and started utilizing Kettlebells 3-4 times a week.

A little weekend recap
It’s hot outside! I don’t want to complain, but my house is a sauna right now and it’s supposed to get even hotter this week! I’m currently sitting here in bed watching Gilmore Girls and have an ice pack on me just to have a little relief. This just makes me miss the nice cool…
