I alternated these 5 sets in this order 4 times. All 5 sets took 10 min. to complete x 4 = 40 min.

10 2 hand swings, 20 transfers, 10 2 hand swings w/36, 1 min on, 1 min. rest x 4 sets = 8 min.

Total workout 60 min.

I went to yoga because I hadn't been to Bikram since Tues.(I went to Vinyasa on Fri.)and I needed to stretch out my shoulder. I found myself stalling before my KB workout and finally had to tell myself to "get in the stinkin' gym!" Dang, those afternoon workouts are hard to get motivated for.

Although I know how important my KB workouts are I don't want anyone to think that's it's always easy for me. Sometimes I have to really talk myself into it when I don't feel like it. But like I've learned from Mark, when it comes down to your training, you have to take the choice out of choice.

Saturday turned out to be an absolutely awesome day!
