Try This Kettlebell Flow Workout for Stretching and Flexibility

Instagram fitness enthusiast Mac Bain has created a kettlebell workout that elegantly incorporates lunges and lifts. As you'll see in the video, lunges are performed in all 4 cardinal directions. If you look at each exercise independently you may think, what's the big deal? They seem easy enough.

The kettlebell windmill, which generally refers to the high variant, involves raising the kettlebell overhead as high as you can. Keeping your arm extended upward, you then bend at the hips to touch your toes with your free hand.

Smart Kettlebell Unveiled at Consumer Electronics Show

While this new smart kettlebell by Jaxjox doesn't have a voice assistant, its bells and whistles sure do impress.

I have to give credit where it is due and say that is pretty amazing.

5-Day 10-pound Weight Loss Challenge – Day 5

The last day has finally arrived! The typical schedule was re-arranged. Instead of doing my kettlebell workout in the morning, I decided to do it in the afternoon. This was partly due to maximizing my time working but also to go back to the normal routine that has worked for me since I started losing weight in the early months of 2018.
