DAILY MINDSET
“I was complaining I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.” – Confucius

A short story to share.
A man walked into a shop to order some flowers to be sent as a gift to his mother, living 200 miles away.

As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing. He asked her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.” The man smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.” He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers.

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother!” She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.

The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the gifting order, picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.

At times, we can take many such relationships with our family and friends for granted.

TEACHING [15:00-20:00]
KETTLEBELL SWINGS
The Feet

• The feet lay the foundation for every movement today
• During the kettlebell swing, let’s think about keeping the feet firmly planted on the ground during hip extension
• One common fault in the swing is that we’ll “roll forward” onto the toes instead of snapping the hips
• The hips can still extend in this position, but they do so from an off-balance position, which limits our power
• Check out the Daily Video for more on this teaching point

STRATEGY + WOD [25:00-60:00]
ENERAL

• The only station we’d stop moving on in this pacing workout is the kettlebell swings
• For this reason, approach the machine with an intensity that allows for big sets on the bell
• Shoot for 1-2 sets on each round of swings (30 or 20-10)
• The more confident you are on the bell, the faster you can afford to step up and use the machine
• At the end of the day, just stay moving MODIFICATIONS
