Start your day off with this 25-minute killer kettlebell workout and burn crazy calories all day long!
This week is pretty crazy around here as Jon, Nora and I get packed and ready to leave for Boston; we leave in just three days! To say I am excited is an understatement, but I also get a little anxiety about leaving my other babies. For the past three years my parents take the boys for a long weekend-up to a week for “Camp Papa-Nini”. The kids look forward to it every year and we even made them all t-shirts. So while I am getting a little sad about leaving my older babies, they are counting down the days to be with Papa and Nini at Camp Papa-Nini for a week!
The weather here in California is currently sunny and warm so I have started packing my winter clothes for Boston. Do you ever feel like no matter how many lists you make or things you pack you are sure you are going to forget something? I have a few Instagram friends that live in Boston, and they keep telling me that the weather there can drastically change in a day. So although it is cold and rainy now it may be warm and humid next week, ugh! I am a total planner and this makes me crazy!
If you don’t currently follow me on Instagram, I will be posting exciting things and Insta-storying our entire trip! I will also be going live on Instagram a few times, so comment below with any questions you want me to cover. Enjoy this workout and if you don’t have a kettlebell, you should invest in one (this is my favorite one), or a dumbbell can be used instead.

Begin standing with feet a little wider than shoulder width apart and toes slightly turned out. Hold the kettlebell at chest level-close to your body.

Leading with your chest, (keep your chest up) stand up to a starting position.
