Ok, so after this past weekend, and getting my KB certification it became very clear to me...I do not WANT to bodybuild anymore, what I want is a body that I can be proud of, functional, healthy and strong. All of this is possible now, I see the way to get this done, and Kettlebells and bodyweight training is the key.
Shawn, our trainer for the weekend, commented on how rather that train someone with a weak reason ( want to fit into a bikini ), he turns that work to other trainers and instead focuses on people with real goals. Lose some weight for health reasons, train for an event that want to take part in, work towards a better self. THESE are the reasons I want to do this. I love dealing with people, seeing them learn about themselves, and if in any way I can help with this....then that is what my goal is.
I want to be fit, want to feel good from the inside out, and even after the brutal training and punishment that we took for 2 days solid, even though I have been sore beyond what I have ever been, I am SO excited about the future, SO excited about being this sore, SO excited about growing as ME. Being HUGE is fine I suppose, but, as I am sure I mentioned earlier in this blog, I don't want to be in the gym for anyone else but me...its my time, and now I have a tool that I can use to work toward a most amazing goal.
I am now working on http://www.castironfitness.com/ and hope to have it launch possibly in May. I will keep you posted. Tips? Hints? things you would like to see on this web? let me know!
More early next week as I have been off resting my body to begin a brand new regime on monday.

IT'S DONE
Its official!! I made it! As of today, February 15th 2009, Rob Townsend is a AKC certified russian kettlebell trainer!! I have the papers to prove it!
OMG it was brutal, a lot of sweat, much pain, will go into more detail on the bodyweight drills, and kettlebell drills later this week but for now, just putting it out there, into the universe, that it is done...and I am proud!!
A BIG shout out goes to Corky at The Playground Fitness Centre for kicking my ass at boot camp for 5 months straight, he told me I needed to do it, and he was right. The last 6 weeks I have spent kettlebell training and am so glad I did, otherwise, I don't know.
Next step you say?? I suppose get http://www.castironfitness.com/ up and running and start training my ass off. I don't think I will train any clients until I bang out some perfect form, drop a couple lbs, and get a little more fit. Hoping for June, after the kids are out of school
Will post again later this week with more info, as for now, I am going for a glass of wine, kick back, enjoy my victory....yes, and sleep!
