Trainer Daryl is back and I have kettlebells – two things that at the start of this little video session I wasn’t so sure were good ideas. Daryl is pretty awesome at making me hate him. However, at the end of it, I’m happy to have both him and my new kettlebells in my dining-turned-workout-video-shooting-room.
Besides being a personal trainer, a former high school music teacher (which I was totally surprised to find out) and a drummer in a local band (also a surprise – I’m learning a lot about him during our sessions), Trainer Daryl is also a certified kettlebell instructor. So when I got the itch to really start training with kettlebells (which I only recently stopped calling cowbells), I thought it would be smart to bring him in to prevent any injury that I would surely inflict upon myself and/or my innocent furniture/walls/children.
This was only the second time playing around with working out with kettlebells, and I kinda sorta think I’m in love. They make me look so… tough. I even went all tomboy with my look today to emphasize my toughness. Are you buying it?

For those of you who want to avoid the expense of a personal trainer (or just like to workout alone or at home), I’m reviewing the Reinhardt Kettlebell System. I’m going to spare you from even more lovey-dovey talk about these DVDs, but you should take my advice and pick this system up. It’s thorough, easy-to-follow, perfect for both beginners and for those with a regular exercise routine, and it’s beautifully packaged (I’m a sucker for nice packages *ha cha cha*). Plus you get a free kettlebell and nutritional guide with the system. Watch the video for my full review! Learn more at RKSworkout.com.
