Functional for Sure

Can’t figure out what kettle bell swings are good for?  You know, like what the heck kind of a functional movement is it, anyway?  When do you swing something like that in real life?

Answer: babies.  Grab them by the legs and swing.  As you can tell by Mabel’s face, she totally hates it but she understands that daddy needs exercise so she’s willing to make the sacrifice.  Wow.  What an amazing daughter I have.

And no, you can’t swing her – even if you ask nice.  Get your own.
