About Me

I am gregarious. I am loyal. I'm opinionated. I care deeply. I find the casual nature of certain things offensive, yet I am laid back. I love animals. I'm a competitor. I believe in good manners. I have a big mouth. Sometimes I don't have a filter. I love food and drink. I cherish my family. I love my friends more than anything. I am reliable. I am quirky. I miss my dad every single day. I don't believe in half-assed. I am an environmentalist. I'm half a hippie. I get high from seeing/hearing live music. "Hi, I'm Steph, wanna play?!" quote by, Ward MacDonald

Kettlebell Class

My trainer Sara at the top of a long cycle, clean and jerk - 2010 Arnold Sports Festival


Last night I took my first kettlebell class at the Ice Chamber. It was pretty amazing. I've never done a straight hour of just kettlebell work, so that in and of itself was a challenge. My arms are spent today! I learned some new techniques and worked on my form. Lots of swings, half snatches and full-snatches (all from the swing, not the ground). I've got the bruises to prove I was there:-) I wrapped my wrists, but I need to invest in the wrist wraps that the IC developed and sells. I'm sure they'll be much more effective, as they're a bit thicker and incorporate a harder section for wrist protection.
