Kettle Bell Workout on Swiss Ball

I am having some fun working on developing better balance with these exercises while standing on a swiss ball.  It is pretty tough, but adds good variety to my workout!  These are not good exercises for beginners though!

Congratulations

Congratulations go out to Tommy Rebecchi and Travis Moore who both passed their yellow belt tests in Gung Fu today!!!
