Hi all! I thought I'd introduce myself. Someone who is into what Pavel teaches us about Kettlebells and much of the old DD philosophy.
Despite the above and purchasing a bell some 4 years ago, I'll kinda tinkered with it whilst doing nothing in particular since (except drinking a little too much and being too sedentary in my approach to life!). I'm fat (15st,10lb and 5'11) putting it bluntly.
For obvious reasons (one would hope), my baby who turns 1 next week has become the motivation to sort this out once and for all. It ought to have been when I found out my wife was Pregnant but ironically I think that gave me too much other stuff to focus on as we prepared for the birth and those early weeks and months.
I have to be strong, healthy, and active if I am to teach my child the same principles and I want this for myself so this is where I start to read the books and learn the knowledge and give it a little time daily going forwards.
I've started out reading over Convict Conditions, Pavels own Naked Warrior, and Solitary Confinement (Charles Bronson). From what I can see I think I can allow a degree of crossover in addition to Kettlebell work but have to say that the principles in Naked Warrior seem to me like the most important I will possibly ever learn, especially the muscle tension stuff!
So, in terms of making sure this is not just another talk the talk session which I fail to stick at, I'll post this, and I'll keep on posting progress.
I don't know how far I can take it but I'm loving the whole SF culture and what it stands for so we'll see. Going to stat a blog too then it's all nice and accountable in terms of measuring my success.
Sorry for rambling!
