THOUGHTS IN YOUR HEAD

Every moment of every day we have thoughts in our head.

Some of these thoughts are positive ones that do us good.

Some of these thoughts are negative ones that can cause us harm.

Some of these thoughts are neutral and just seem to pass their way by.

Some thoughts are unique to you and only you.

Other thoughts are experienced by everyone.

Certain thoughts that may be in your head may not even really be yours but the opinions of others.

Some thoughts are original where others are not.

Some thoughts are valuable to you where others not so much.

Some thoughts are happy and others are sad.

In any case there is many thoughts in your head throughout any given day. It is up to you to use the ones that are the most valuable to your mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional health.

  2. Since kettlebells are compact and come in various sizes they are easy to travel to and from your classes or workout areas. They don’t take up a lot of room.
  3. You can get a really great and affective workout in a short time. Therefore saving you time and allowing yourself more time for other things.

  5. Compare kettlebells to traditional weights and most people will say the kettlebell looks less intimidating. Ball like shaped weights seem more friendly but don’t let their looks deceive you. You will get a great training session in with them. i.e. Results!
  6. Kettlebell training will help you do your regular daily activities easier.
  7. Using multiple muscle groups at once helps burn more fat and calories.
  8. Training with kettlebells will allow you to realize how strong you really are and you can improve upon that strength.
