Kettlebells are badass.
Nothing says badass like swinging around a giant iron ball of cool.
Gofit.net was great enough to send me a Kettlebells The Iron Core Way: a 15 pound kettlebell and instructional DVD.
Gofit.net is badass.
You know why? Because they sent me two Kettlebells The Iron Core Way sets, one for me and one to give away to a lucky reader.
(For my review of the Kettlebells The Iron Care Way, or to find out more about kettlebells in general, visit www.everygymsnightmare.com)
But I can’t give this away to just any reader. A lurker? Forget it. (delurk now!) not even an avid commenter is worthy of this prize.
No, the winner of this great giveaway has got to be the most badass reader out there.
Can you do pullups?
One handed pushups?
Do you bench press your children, just for a warm up?
Did you club a guy with a dumbbell at the gym for cutting you in line for the water fountain?
Prove it.
Send me a picture of how much of a fitness badass you are, and the most badassiest of the bunch will win their very own Kettlebells The Iron Care Way from Gofit.net.
If you aren’t more badass than me…..
…then you can go to GoFit.net and order your own…along with this badass t shirt.
You have until July 25th to email me your entries. I will announce the winner on the 25th, but will post every entry for recognition.


















how about doing a pullup with a kettlebell hooked on my foot? (sigh, I wish!)
love the kettlebell and the awesome workout I get with it.
damn. this means i have to try to look badass in a picture, doesn’t it. you have NO IDEA how much i suck at that. but i’m doing it just for you (or for a shot at the kettleballs).
Well i’m out. I can’t do any of those things.
workoutmommy- that would be perfect (and you know i cant tell if there is a box under you ;) )
A2P- psh..did you see my picture?!
sirenjess- your supposed to make up your own! you can’t steal my examples…gotta be creative!
List of things to do tonight:
1) Watch DVRed Flipping Out.
2) Run the heck out of my psycho dog so that I can have some quiet time at home.
3) Practice badass poses and faux gang signs.
Oooh… I’ve always been curious about Kettlebells!! I’ll definitely be thinking of something SWEET for this contest! How about one handed push-ups while doing a shot of tequila on vacation? :-)
I making another human being, that’s badass!
Jenn- the gang signs mine. i recommend donning and orange jumpsuit and shanking some people. while doing lunges.
chandra- you better. im serious. 100%
Alice- yeah thats pretty badass. how can we make that fitness related….how about you do yoga poses while eating pickles and ice cream. thats what pregnant women do, right? cause thats the only part im looking forward to about getting pregnant (in the way distant future)
Hahaha – dude – I totally just commented on your other blog about how I benchpress children!
We think alike…
OMG! I have been wanting to use kettlebells for a while now, but totally don’t have access to any – I will have to think of something totally badass to send you so I can win!! Good give-away!!
I am pretty badass. But I’m not sure if I can beat that picture. You’re so badass I’m surprised you didn’t hurl that kettleball straight back to gofit in a fury that they would think 15 pounds was anything more than a ball of lint in your powerful hands.
I want a kettlebell. I am summoning all of the badass deep inside of me and will somehow find a way to win this. The rest of you don’t stand a chance…. (That’s the badass talking ALREADY. What.)
chris- haha, thats funny, or sad. im not sure which.
Genevieve- Its on like Donkey Kong. get those cempetitive juices flowing
tfh- dont think it didnt cross my mind. but the fact that i cant walk today is a testiment that it was probably the perfect weight for me. But i can still kick some ass! WHAT! REPRESENT!
linds- oh shiiiit look out for linds! shes got her game face on!
Damn I want to win this thing. I mean can it be more badass to show up at a conference of 1000+ women (BlogHer) wearing only sleeveless tops to show off my muscles? (Does it garner more points when I remind folks I’m 56?) If I find one of those shot on Flickr of me flexing for the camera will it count
I’m gonna have to go home and make up some baddd asss pix aren’t I?
we can press these at the yoga studio, i want to win!
Is this site for women only? Anyway, I’m not really interested the kettlebell, but I am under 8% body fat, and can do about 20 pull ups before getting too tired. I recently started indoor rock climbing, and am really enjoying that too. Cheers!
