Tennessee – Full Body Kettlebell Circuit Workout (and fun on the farm)
I was one of those horse girls growing up. You know the girls who played with Bryer horses instead of Barbies. Did anyone else have those? I used to write I <3 Knitpicker all over my Trapperkeeper. Knitpicker was my horse. My Trapperkeeper was an organizer. Do they still makes those?
Anyway ,we spent a week on a farm in Tennessee. It was wonderful and I felt right at home with the animals. It’s one of my not-so-secret dreams to live on a small farm. The only problem is I love to travel and animals, particularly goats, and traveling don’t fit well together. I supposed I could join a circus. Maybe I could complete feats of strength with my kettlebells while the boys do tricks with our pugs? Except I’m not that strong. And the pugs are lazy. Better scratch the circus. I guess living in an RV with 3 boys, 2 pugs, and a cat is the closest thing I’ll ever get to a circus.
A real "farmer's walk"?
Anyway, while at the farm I did a kettlebell workout and hung out with some really great animals. (The workout starts at 1:28 if you don’t want to meet the animals.)

Circuit #1
1a. Presses – 5 each side
1b. Alternating Reverse Lunges – 10
1c. Burpees – 1 minute
Repeat 3x

Upright rows aren’t normally part of my repertoire but I wanted to mix things up a little.
*I always do some mobility work for a warm up and try my best to finish with stretching and foam rolling.
We are currently in Florida and loving the warm weather. We are going to be here a few more weeks and I’m hoping to find some time to edit Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. I loved the locations of all of them but especially Louisiana.
Hugs and High Fives,

This is my (almost) sane quest for insane health. Let's

I was a horse girl too! Totally had Breyers in place of Barbies!
Loved the workout…especially loved the horses in the background just taking it all in!
That is awesome! Did you read The Black Stallion series and watch the movies? I was obssessed and it’s still one of my favorite movies to this day!!!
I LOVED horses as a kid but never had one. it was my obsession though- did I ever tell you about that?! i dreamed of having a horse but my wise parents knew it would be ridiculous to get me one ( not to mention ridiculously expensive!). You are obviously a natural with animals and one day I bet you’ll have that farm.
No Debs, I didn’t know that!!!! That is so cool!! Your dad was right a horse would be ridic expensive in Southern CA. The main reason I have never owned one while living there. It’s so much less expensive to have one in Indiana.
I loved meeting all the animals! You look so at home! Maybe a small farm is in your future after all…
Great workout!
Enjoy sunny Florida!
