Yak

I received ‘yak’ kettlebells from the trainer tonight. Apparently if one is able to talk during (double) kettlebell thrusters, one gets to increase the weight of kettlebells.

But seriously, the chick next to me is from Texas. Talking was very necessary. I learned she attended UT, has degrees in journalism and anthropology (my all time favorite subject), she teaches snow boarding, she can box jump twice as high as me, and her dad is 62 and squats more weight than she squats. She’s tough.

We bird-dogged...on a bosu. Yeah, boy that was fun. My new friend taught me to lift and hold before extending to bird dog position. It works. I say I was never an athlete. I wasn’t. UT told me that doesn’t mean I won’t ever be an athlete. I like her.

Trainer was excellent too. Demanding but excellent. University of Miami grad. His playlist was straight out of Texas. Good stuff.
