Loving it

Just thought I would say hi to all the KBers wherever you are (I am in UK). I first started using KBs about 18 months ago casually but for the past 3 months have been using them all the time to the point where I prefer my workout to be based mostly on KBs. I train with a group of old rugby league players all round the 40-50 yrs old mark. Absolutely loving it, no weight coming off at moment but can feel my whole body tightening up. Could do with losing a few pounds but find if I cut down too much on calories I become fatigued during workouts. I am only 5 foot 5 but am round the 90KG mark so am a bit of a chunk. Typical workout for us which we have been using this week as below done on 2 min 45 secs repeats in a group of 3 people.

10 (barbell deadlifts) 100KG + 10 horizontal ring rows (feet on ball pulling up on suspended rings)

2min 45 repeats are because we are in group of 3 but if 2 in group we use 2 min repeats. We do mix things up every week so it doesnt get stale. I also cycle and walk a fair bit and occasionally go to an aerobic circuit so really hoping weight will start to move soon.
Keep swinging!!
