the real sweat came in when it was my turn and Hanping's to play Track and Field, and Boxing. It is worse than bodycombat! Big drops of sweat and INSTANT arms ache!
I'd say it was great fun and a great workout!

Xbox Boxing
I should have worn my heart rate monitor when playing Xbox with my niece and nephew. I scored an all time low when playing bowling with them, and kena a lot of unintended mockery, like, "Small Uncle first ah! I second, Helmey third.... fourth cannot say.. wait small ah yi angry..."

Kettlebells Part II - Where to attend class
ok next part of the blog is where to attend classes
Apparently it is not as easy to find kettlebell classes as it is to find kickboxing, muay thai or any aerobic class.
this is what I got, after checking webbies and sending a few messages.
Kettlebell HIT at Turf city has a membership, or $10 per visit. I do not think this pay per visit is permanent, probably only for those people who come for the first time. About $100 per month, and has a $50 registration fee.
there is an introductory kettlebell class every Thursday too.
Another downpoint, Turf City is quite hard to go to if you do not have a car.
This isnt exactly what I am looking for as it is a membership, not really a limited 4 session class or something.
Kettlebells.sg classes are also not cheap. They have a free one week trial, after that for once weekly it is $108 per month. ouch. once weekly? so each class is like $27. Sounds quite expensive to me.
Good point would be that it is near Serangoon Gardens, not too far but not sure how accessible.
CrossFit do multiple training but they dont do only kettlebell.
Singapore Kettlebell Club has a trainer named Herman Chau, his sessions are $100 per hour for 2 person, $30 for every additional person.
He seems to have a lot of credentials as a kettlebell trainer. Location is at
Krav Maga Defensive Tactics Pte Ltd
38 Carpenter Street
Hui Seng Building
#03-01 Singapore 059917
This gym does a lot of tactical army type of training, called TACFIT.
Last but not least, (becos this is the most expensive) Marcel Fit. His class is from 9am to 5pm, one day, 4th September. $499! No matter how good he is, i dont think we need such a good training for kettlebells at this moment. i dont think i can afford it.
Another possible alternative is to engage Yusuf Kay, who is a certified Kettlebell trainer to train us, and hope he can give a preferential rate?
From the given options, I guess i would go for Kettlebell HIT to try, or engage this Herman Chau (provided we have enough interested people) for a few sessions.
Equipment is not too expensive but the training is!!!

Kettlebells Part I - where to buy
71.5kg today, and been eating a lot, not much exercise. bad, bad me.
and i forgot to try the apple cider vinegar remedy for celullite until i saw my blog again, hur hur.
ok i have to try!!
I am newly obsessed with a new toy which I have not tried yet. Kettlebells.
I had three sessions of Bodyfirst with Yusuf Kay, the Training Manager at Fitness Fitness Millenia Walk. He is not selfish about his training tips which was really good. We had a session on bodyweight, that is using my own weights to work out, and a session on gym equipment weights, and another session on TRX, tubes and VIPR.
When I ask him how effective are these tools, he said that all tools are effective in its own right, and when used correctly and regularly. However he particularly find kettlebells very effective. It is tough but really very good cardio workout. HMMM.
and that lead me to a search for kettlebells, and classes. I wanted to start off with kettlebell taichi, which seem less aggressive and probably a good starting point. UNfortunately currently there are only classes at Lam Soon CC, CCK, which is like sooo far awayyy
NewAgeTaichi
I also found that the kettlebell (2kg) sold by the taichi instructor is so much cheaper than the market. AIBI sells Reebok 3kg kettlebell for $49.. ouch.
So I have two missions. 1- find cheaper kettlebells. 2- find affordable kettlebell class. This blog is about Part I - finding Kettlebells.
Kettlebell - how to Choose
http://www.ehow.com/how_2271551_choose-kettlebells-workout.html
1
Begin your workout with a lightweight kettlebell if you are a woman who has never done weight training before. The average beginner weight is 10 lb.; however, you may need a bit more or less depending on your current level of fitness. If you are a woman who has spent some time working on strength conditioning, you may be able to begin with 20 or even 25 lb.
2
Choose a bit heavier weight if you are a man who has never trained before, as your genetic makeup will allow you to begin with a larger kettlebell. Most men without training begin at about 20 or 25 lb. If you are conditioned, you may be able to begin with 35 or even 40 lb.
3
Play it safe and purchase at least three different sizes of kettlebells. Not only will the desired weight change depending on the exercise, some days you simply do not want to workout as much. Having a selection of kettlebells to choose from will ensure that you are not forcing your muscles to work with a weight which is too heavy, and will also allow you to gradually build up the weight as you gain strength.
4
Select kettlebells which you find aesthetically pleasing, if you so choose. Kettle bells are most commonly found in standard metal; however, they are also available in a number of bright colors which not only add some style to your workout room, they also help you to differentiate weight.
Ok so I think I will at least buy two different kettlebell weights. 2kg is only for taichi kettlebell, and probably at least a 6kg and a 8kg.
The cheapest kettlebell that i managed to find is from Jmall starting at $9 for 2kg kettlebell!
2kg - $9
4kg - $18
6kg - $27
8kg - $36
10kg (premium) - $48
12kg (premium) - $57.60
free delivery for $80 and above, $10 per delivery
the next cheapest is NutritionPark, however their kettlebells are all black. Boring.
4kg - $25.50
8kg - $49.40
12kg - $65.00
other kettlebells are mostly in a package of three kettlebells and a DVD
Kettlebells.sg
Package 6kg 8kg 12kg and a DVD - $205
6kg - not sold singularly
8kg - $70
12kg - $88
DVD - $57
Any purchase comes with a free Kettlebell e book.
Pickup location so near mummy house! Block 609 Bedok Reservoir Road
Free Delivery for $200 and above, $10 per delivery
Kettlebell HIT at Turf City offer ligher kettlebell package but more expensive and no DVD.
6,8,10kg - $182 no DVD
3kg Reebok - $39.60
6kg Reebok - $47.70
8kg Reebok - $63.90
6kg pro grade - not sold out of package
8kg Prograde - $70
10kg - $81
12kg - $90
Dont see how the delivery works...
Summary
If I wanna get the cheapest option, it will be to buy Jmall kettlebells and DVD from Kettlebells.sg and collect it at Bedok Reservoir Road. For a 6kg,8kg,12kg and DVD that would cost me (120.4+57) $177.40
2kg,6kg,8kg and DVD would cost me (71.80+57) $128.80
I can also choose to buy Reebok kettlebells (cos look prettier) and the DVD
3kg, 6kg, 8kg Reebok and DVD - $151.20 + $57 - $208.20
and i forgot to try the apple cider vinegar remedy for celullite until i saw my blog again, hur hur.
