“Live life fully while you're here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You're going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don't try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.”

SwingSista WOD for Monday :o)

Morning ladies, we hope you have had an amazing weekend in the sunshine :o) I don't know about Lizzie, but I took the whole of Sunday off to just rest and take it easy. 


Here is your Work-out of the Day (WOD) for Monday ...

OverHead Swing


Turkish Get-Up  I absolutely LOVE this video of Lauren Brooks  TGU'ing a 24kg Kettlebell! She is a complete inspiration to me. She has been trained by the RKC which is my goal for 2013! This year, I hope to be able to pass the Hardstyle Kettlebell Certification which is a one day course, and then get my training sorted to be ready for the 3 day RKC course.

Have a great day,


Love, Charlie and Lizzie x
