Some thoughts and discussions from me.
Workout Finishers: Kettlebell Complex
Hi, friends! How ya doin?
Yesterday turned out to be such a fun work day. It helps that I spent the majority of my work day here!
Yesterday after teaching HIIT class in Boulder, I headed over to Golden and The Red Rocks to do a little KIND work with my kind friend, Lauren. We caught up about the weekend while we worked, and then headed to Whole Foods for lunch.
After a hard day’s work, I headed to the Cheese Importer shop with Katie – basically an entire store FULL of imported cheese. I’ve been meaning to go since we moved here, and can’t believe I hadn’t stopped in before yesterday. It’s glorious!
We both left with multiple chunks of cheese, and a stick of salami for me, so naturally…we had a wine and cheese night 
(and played euchre)
Good times with good wine and cheese Except for the one block that wasn’t good (that I brought over) – it was downright horrible and even required an apple slice “chaser!” haha
Now today, I’ve got the morning pretty open. I’m about to head into the gym to get in a lifting workout, but wanted to share with you all my finisher for the workout… Hence the title of this post 
I do a finisher on my lifting workouts once or twice a week just to really gas myself. The finisher involves three movements with the kettle bell: the swing, the clean, and a single arm front squat. I even made a little video with a short description of each:
Now, for the workout:

I’ve been playing with the kettle bell a lot – with myself and with clients. It’s such a great tool, and I tend to gravitate toward it, the TRX, and boxes more than anything else when it comes to finishers.
Now I’m off to go do that 
Have a fab day!
What’s your favorite type of cheese?
Oh I LOVE the Red Rocks Amphitheater! I have to admit, I’ve been there twice, both times to see an ABBA Cover Concert. My best friend (who lives in Denver) and I are OBSESSED with ABBA and hope to go to that concert and dance our hearts out every year until we are old ladies. Missed it this year because of that obnoxious Bar exam thing… but I’ll be there next year! End of July!

So cool that you got to work at the amphitheater! It looks gorgeous. And I love me some good cheese 🙂
I should try doing finishers more often! I love using kettle bells too, so this is perfect. Thanks for the demo!

Great finisher! I love using them when I feel like I need to really bust my butt! I have been wanting to catch a show at Red Rocks for so long! It looks like such an amazing place to listen to good music and have a good time!

Aw I can’t believe I never ran red rocks when I lived there! Bummer. It is definitely the best concert venue though!! And I love that little cheese shop, so cute!

I just started using kettlebells again (after a nearly 6 month hiatus!). I do a 15-20 min workout before teaching spin. I was SO SORE after the first one last week!!
Kind of glad I didn’t go to that cheese shoppe with you girls- I would’ve eaten my face off there!

I took a kettlebell class a few weeks ago, and those things are fun to swing around!
Favourite type of cheese: I like my soft cheeses. I’m all about goat chevre or brie!

People are really into kettlebells these days! I can see why – they’re pretty cool. Kettlebell swings are great!!
