Yeah, I don't speak Brazilian...

reiteration

I haven't done anything for over a month (my longest hiatus for ages!) with having flu and bad weather etc... so, kettlebell class will be interesting tonight..!

41 in April. Black belts in Tae Kwon Do and Kickboxing.

Train everyday except Wednesday and Sunday.

So... How was it?

reiteration

very hard as expected, but fun... we didn't really have a break for 45 minutes after the warmup..(apart from when I grabbed the odd 10 seconds here and there..)..

I started off with the 24kg - but dropped to the 20kg towards the end, but happy tho

Good work mate, not bad for an old fella... [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Due to my girly hands, i can’t get my fingers round the handle of anything bigger than 16kg

reiteration

maybe have a look online (in you're interested in buying some) - as some brands have thicker handles than others (to an extent).. as a guy at the kettlebell class doesn't like using the reebok ones we have, but prefers the more generic ones we have.. ebay have loads... and I don't have massive hands either..

I have to ask, but what is the purpose of having belts in Kickboxing? I assume you don't wear gis or doboks like in Judo, Karate, TKD, which require a belt to keep them shut.

I think they are worn for decoration/ranking rather than function.
