February Training Blog

Second month into 2017 and things are starting to settle down but it’still a lot of work. My father will be getting a prosthetic soon and hopefully that means he will get back some of his independence which means things will hopefully get easier for me~! I’ve been fitting training in where I can and it’s Open season so I’ve been trying to get down to my friends gym to participate with that~! Fun~!

Birthday Armour Complex:

It's my birthday today~! I'm 32, so naturally I had to do the "Armour Complex" with 2 x 32kg kettlebell's~! #CROSSFIT #ARMOURCOMPLEX #KETTLEBELL #KETTLEBELLCOMPLEX #KETTLEBELLWORKOUT #COMPLEX #REHBAND #ROGUEFITNESS #ROGUE #REEBOK #ATHOME #ATHOMEWORKOUT #HOMEWORKOUT #FIT #FITNESS #DRAKE #CONTROLLA #STRENGTH #POWER #2POOD #CONORMAYNARD #COVER #BIRTHDAY #BIRTHDAYWORKOUT www.trainsmartnothard.com

So February has been good. I’ve done a lot more training than I thought and even though I’m not known for my engine I was happy with where I got in 17.1 although I should have pushed harder. It’s been a bit of an up and down month mentally with it being my birthday and circumstances the way they are but I can see the light and I’m optimistic for the rest of the year~!
