A Simple Test

10:00 Swing Test - How many 2 handed swings can I do in a 10 minute time period. Only 252. Over 100 less than I did 2 weeks before the RKC challenge in April.
I ask myself, why? I tell myself "Off Day you can do better". Well, thats true and not so true. Of course I can do better, but I didn't. End of story.
Life NEVER gives you a second opportunity to do something the first time!
In the weeks leading up to the RKC Challenge I was focused, committed and had a sense of purpose. I worked hard to get myself prepared. I had help from the RKC's at the Kettlebell Club, they basically told me where I needed help and to relax and enjoy.
I earned my certification and eased off a bit. Sure I was still swinging the kettlebell, but I lacked a true sense of purpose.
So here I am, a couple months past the challenge trying to figure out what the heck am I doing with the kettlebells.
It took a poor showing at the 10:00 Swing Test to open my mind.
I swing the Kettlebells because it makes me feel good! The more I push myself, the more I accomplish, the better I feel. It's not hard to figure out the benefits for me. It starts in the head with commitment, and spreads through the rest of the body...you just have to allow yourself to feel it!
