Yay! Enjoy your shiny new kettlebell!

After the first full week of school my son now has covid. So far he only has congestion and fever. I'm hoping that is all that develops. He is 9 and the rest of the household is vaccinated and so far not showing any symptoms. Again I'm hoping none develop.

Sending lots of thoughts and good vibes in your son's direction. I hope he recovers soon and that no one else develops symptoms!

Training 

 

Shin Box with hip extensions 

4x4 Pushups 

3x10 KB Swings 24kg

1x10 KB Swings 16kg 

Sphinx Pose 2 min 

 

The heavier bell was definitely harder to swing and then almost fell over from how light it was when I switched to the 16kg to try and get some volume sets. Low back is tight but no pain right now. We will watch it, was wondering if the heavier bell would anger it. 

 

Covid 

 

No change for our little patient. Developed a cough and still running a fever but doesn't seem as high but hard to tell since we have him loaded up on motrin. 

 

Thanks everyone for the well wishes!

Covid update 

 

My son hasn't had any fever in several days and seems to be feeling much better. Still has a nasty cough but otherwise seems to be recovered and his quarantine ends after this weekend. Thankfully it seems like it was a mild case.

 

No one else in the house ever developed any symptoms and we tested negative. Might be premature but it has been a full week since he started showing symptoms so I think we are in the clear. Vaccines work everyone.

Excellent, I'm very glad he's on the mend and the rest of you are unscathed.

Nice workout.

 

I know that the challenge isn't over just yet but I have gotten what I wanted these past six weeks. My low back no longer hurts, occasionally still getting some stiffness, but not hurting just walking around anymore. I have rebuilt some strength and have gained a surprising amount of muscle on my upper back from just doing a handful of Pullups several times a week. I am continuing with the kettlebells and the big 3 exercises that I have been doing but splitting Getups and Swings to separate days and adding a squat and Press day once or twice a week. So really more of the same with a bit more variety. Plan to keep this setup through the next challenge as well.

I haven't checked in for a bit. I had one of my insomnia episodes earlier this week and have been trying to catch up on some sleep ever since. It has been mixed results with one decent night of sleep followed by a four hour night. Not sure why I can't get back to my sleep schedule yet but resetting with a early morning workout tomorrow. 

 

Happy labor day weekend everyone!
