Kettle Bells: Before and After

Today I dusted off my good old kettle bell and did an hour long kettle bell workout.  The workout consist of 3 total body circuits all in which the kettle bell is used.  At the end of the 3 circuits (the last one btw...is SUPER fast paced) there is about 15 minutes of ab strengthening, also with the kettle bell.  Now let me do a quick comparison for you! ;-)
Before Shred:  When I did KB workouts not only did my "arse" hurt something fierce afterwards, but I was never able to complete the ab portion.  I would mostly just lay there like a dead fish and imagine doing the moves in my head.  Yeah....pretty lame....I know.  Sometimes when I did KB workouts, especially after long pauses of not doing it, I couldn't even sit down on the toilet my glutes hurt so bad. 
After Shred:  I OWNED this work out today!!!!!!  OMG!!!!!! It felt great! And the best part!!!! (Can you tell I'm excited???) I made it ALL THE WAY thru the ab part.....WITHOUT PAUSING!!!!!!  And in case you're wondering, I sat down just fine on the commode today.  Of course, I felt a "slight" tug in my glutes....but nothing like before.  The hand weights I used for Shred are 3 and 5lb, and my KB is 10lb. SO.....the only place I'm noticing anything today is in my biceps and shoulders.  But it's not bad....nothing to complain about.  Good night folks......can't wait to start P90X!!!!!!
