Happy Valentine's Day to Me!

I am thrilled to be a homeowner (basement flooding, not withstanding), and one of the main reasons that I wanted to buy my own place is so that I can have a home gym and workout whenever I want to without having to deal with weather, traffic, crowds, or open hours.

One of the tools I have been lusting over for a bit is a kettlebell. Kettlebells are amazing full body fitness tools. If you haven't been using one you are missing out. Here is a video of a Tim Ferris interview with Pavel Tsatsouline, the master of kettlebells. 

So, since I didn't get one for Christmas (don't get me wrong, I was blessed with many wonderful gifts!) I decided to treat myself to one for Valentine's Day. I can only be patient for so long!

So, ta-da!  My newest toy:

 

It's so sturdy and  well made. I think that rather than remove this from my wishlist, I am just going to update it with the 30 pound version for the future. If you want one for yourself, you can find them here on Amazon Bionic Body kettlebells (I am not an affiliate, nor do I make any money from them in any way, I am just a fan of the product after reviewing countless options).
