You should send me a picture, that would be so cute 😀

Hope to have a new challenge tomorrow. At least I hope it will be LOL – there’s nothing like a bit of pressure to get the creative coggs rolling 😉

WOW, Thanks Marianne! I appreciate the tip! I should send you a picture Miles as the KB. 🙂

I am glad you had a great time in Dublin, though I have to say I am a little nervous (but excited) for what this might bring to your workouts! Bring it on! I’m ready for the challenge. 😉

Hope your hand gets better soon!

Hey Amanda. You are a great inspiration yourself! I laughed at you using your baby as a KB 😉 Bet he loves it!!

You sound very strong btw – 8 dips, 20+ push ups! wow!! 😀

The glute bridges should progress as the video advises. Deadlifts should be progressed by practicing maybe with your KBs, or Dumbbells, then an empty barbell before progressively adding more load. HERE is a great blog post which covers near enough everything you’d ever need to know about Deadlifts. I found this really helpful 🙂

First let me say…Yikes that was a tough one! I just finished, and I am dripping. What a great workout!
I have been visiting your site and following your workouts for a couple of months now, and I couldn’t be happier that I found you. You KICK MY BUTT! And I love you for it. I am a new mom (well…10.5 months new), and since having my son, Miles, was born my fitness goals have completely changed. Like you talked about in one of your recent posts; working out was something I did to look good (not that there is anything wrong with looking good :)) . However, now I train to be strong, and be the best me possible. I want to be a strong healthy example for Miles as he grows up. And, carrying around a 22lb baby all day is tough. Finding time to workout is difficult some days, but your workouts are perfect. Quick and very very effective, and baby approved (Miles thinks Burpees are hilarious) I don’t have Kettlebells, so I use dumbbells (and sometimes use my son Miles for 2 handed KB swings-Hehe,Which he LOVES!), or whatever I can find. I plan to start going to the gym and start adding heavy weighted deadlifts, and hip thrusts. Any tips on where I should start? I have been following your glute bridge/hip thrust tutorial, and have been progressing right along. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
I have noticed more improvement in my strength than ever, since adding your workouts into my routine. I can now do regular pushups (over 20 in a row), bodyweight dips (I am up to 8), and almost one pull up. It is my goal to do at least 5 pull up by my Birthday (in November).
Well, enough of the blabbering. Just wanted to introduce myself, and send you a heartfelt thanks for all that you do! You are a strong beautiful woman, who kicks some serious butt! You are an inspiration to me, and i hope one day to be as strong as you are! (I feel like I am on my way)
Keep it up! Have a great weekend in Dublin! 🙂

Your trip sounds fantastic Michele 🙂 Right up my street! Camping, river rafting, eating not-so-healthy yummy stuff 😀 I’m jealous! LOL I wish I was on holiday again 🙁

It is true that even a few days off from your usual training is a shock to the system. But maybe it’s a good thing that shakes things up again?? Don’t know, but you’ll soon get your groove back.

Enjoy 😛

Oh Amy, can’t wait to read your blog! 😀 Great stuff! Recipes mmmm

So did I Adam, you aren’t alone in that 😉 It’s meant to be hard 😛 Good for you for sticking with it!
