🛠️ Recovery Flow – Day 8 | Kettlebells, Music & Movement
Today’s session was all about strength and rhythm — I followed the kettlebell routine we planned, and it felt amazing.
💥 No pain, no knee tension, no difficulties. Just a strong, grounded workout with great energy.
And of course… there was dancing. Because I can’t resist a good beat — especially when Beyoncé’s involved. 😏💃🏾

💪🏾 Why this kettlebell plan works:
This kettlebell routine was designed with three key goals in mind:
✔️ Activate large muscle groups without overstressing the joints
✔️ Improve posture and coordination, using compound movements
✔️ Support fat loss and metabolic health through strength-based effort
Each movement challenges core stability and balance — both essential for my long-term fitness goals. The focus on controlled, grounded execution allows me to train intensely without compromising recovery.
This is strength training that respects the body. And I’m here for it. 🧠💪🏾
🎥 🎶 And yes… I danced between sets
