January 2, 2009A couple of great kettlebell coaches, Catherine Imes & Marko Suomi, recently posted a very crazy, yet motivating kettlebell challenge on Facebook. Both spoke about performing 2009 kettlebell jerks/presses w/ 1 kettlebell on new years day.
Hmmmm….amazingly, this struck a chord with me. as the new year approached, I wanted and wondered how, I would challenge myself and further push the envelope with my business, fitness, and life in 2009. well, thanks to Cate and Marko, I found my first true challenge of 2009.
Since becoming a kettlebell coach, I have done a few long sets of various kettlebell exercises, mostly between 3-10 minute cycles. However, 2009 kettlebell jerks &/or presses, posed a real challenge in developing mental toughness. Mental toughness is a major tool I know I wanted to improve upon in 2009. Having solid mental toughness, carries over in, not just your fitness program, but your everyday life. So I decided, “Why, the he**, not?”
Basically, I woke up New Year’s Day, drank my greens shake, cranked up my head-banging training playlist on my ipod, and got busy. At the request of some friends on Facebook and Twitter, I did broadcast this feat live on Ustream. I’m a little ticked, because every time I try to watch the reply, nothing shows. Thankfully, I had witnesses to watch live, and cheer me on. (Thanks @timothycarter and @averagegoddess)
Anyhow, yesterday’s workout of the day is listed below, as well as today’s “recovery” workout of the day. How did you start your 2009, in terms of your fitness program?
