Stressful workout. I usually don’t exercise until after the kids are in bed but we were going out Saturday night so I came home from work early and did this workout around 4:30pm. My kids were having the time of their lives borderline killing each other in a blow up wrestling ring that was a recent birthday gift from a now disowned relative. It was mostly laughing and joyful screaming mixed in with loud thumps, pained screaming, tears and well under a pint of blood. I spent most rest breaks between sets patching kids up and doing consoling duty.
Meanwhile my father-in-law was trying to carry on a conversation with me the entire time I was trying to get through the workout while my mother-in-law was dropping every third item she picked up in the kitchen onto the floor. Maybe every 2nd item for a while there.
I switched to 1-arm kettlebell swings from the 2-arm version and still cannot find the 16kg bell. I will have to just breakdown and buy another one eventually. My oldest was very interested in the kettlebell swings and wanted to mimic the in-air switch from one hand to the other with “his” 4 lb kettlebell. He got the release part down pretty good but made no attempt to actually catch the kettlebell, instead choosing to simply watch the bell crash to the floor.
All in all a good reminder why I typically don’t try to fit exercise in until after 8pm. As well as why half of our house is covered in interlocking mats.
I was invited to an awesome play fight in the blow up wrestling ring afterwards.
