30 Minute Full Body Kettlebell Workout

March 28, 2020 | by thesundaystories

Once upon a time I could brag about my gym prowess. 5/6 days a week, heavy weight lifting, minimal cardio and an endless pursuit of legs and an ass to rival Katy Hearn.

Four years have passed since those days so I’ve got little-to-no right to bring it up, but like a White American Dad in his 50’s bragging about his college days in Soccer, I just can’t let it go. My life has changed a lot in four years and with that, my priorities have changed. Perhaps it’s to do with my age, but achieving a perfect body is no longer my goal. If i’m honest, I don’t have a goal, I just want to maintain how my body looks now with minimal effort. It’s fine, it does the job and i’m comfortable with how I look – what more could I ask for?

I recently bought a couple of kettlebells so that I could do some home workouts. Admittedly I’m still not working out as much as I probably should but it sure is more convenient than paying £45 a month for the gym. I put together a few 30 min kettlebell workouts that i’ve found have genuinely made me ache the next day and i’m of the opinion that’s a good sign!
As a rule, I do each activity for one minute, or one minute per arm/leg which comes in at about 28 minutes.

Two books. Two poorly written reviews. CMBYN is a Two books. Two poorly written reviews.

CMBYN is a beautifully written account of 17 year old Elio falling in love with 24 year old Oliver during a summer in Italy at his (Elio’s) parents villa. I loved everything about this book; the intensity, the vulnerability, the intimacy, even the moments of discomfort. It was the escape I desperately needed from a devastating start to 2021. 

On Earth is a letter from a son to a mother, it moves from stories of his childhood to knowledge of his mother’s past in Vietnam, creating an explanation for the nuances and intricate details of their family’s life. Full disclosure; I probably didn’t appreciate the story as much as I could have, or should have. Perhaps I’d had too much purple prose by this point but it is a beautifully written and terribly sad story. A quote that has stuck with me;

‘The truth is we don’t have to die if we don’t feel like it.

Just kidding.’
What can be said in New Year rhymes, That's not be What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?

The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.

We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.

We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.

We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead.

We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the burden of the year.

Sorry for the spam today, I haven’t touched this Sorry for the spam today, I haven’t touched this account in a week or so and I had the sudden urge to update it today 🙃.
I rushed to finish An American Marriage today as my last book of the year, tomorrow I plan to write up my end of year round-up of books for my blog (which has been severely neglected for months). I’m really happy with the vast majority of books I’ve read this year and my aim next year is again, not to worry about quantity, but aim for quality.
Behind AAM are the beginning of my TBR pile for 2021, any there that you’ve read?
