Kettlebell Practice

:D My 16kg kettlebell finally got delivered this morning after some minor hassles - a day before we go away for our summer holidays, so I'll have both a 24 and a 16kg bell to take with me

With the lighter bell I felt safer attempting a few more exercises and had fun in the sun trying the following:

• Turkish Get-ups
• Cleans and Presses
• Bottom-up Cleans and Presses
• Windmills
• Snatches
• Renegade Rows (albeit a bit one-sided with 24 and 16kg)

Some of these probably didn't look too pretty, but managed a fair representation of each of them. The guy who sold me the kettlebells suggested I might try some flipping and juggling on the sand while I'm away. Hmmm we'll see how much confidence I gain in the next week.
