Carwash and Kettlebells

One of the great things about kettlebells is you can squeeze a workout in just about anywhere, but probably not in a phone booth. (Are there any more of those these days?)

Late Sunday afternoon, I went to the local car wash and when I went to get some stuff from the floor of the back seat, there was my 24 kg kettlebell. I hadn’t gotten a workout in yet so why not? I decided from the time they started vacuuming the Jeep until the time when the illegal, er, undocumented, um, immigrant workers finished wiping down the last drop of rinse water, I would swing and snatch the kettlebell.

Good thing it wasn’t very busy, but during my time there, I got in 200 one-handed swings, starting with sets of 30 and eventually down to sets of 10.

After the truck was finished, I added in 100 snatches for good measure.

I then scratched off two things from the To Do list.
