Tracy Reifkind's Training Food and Thought

Overweight since childhood,I spent most of my 30's tipping the scales around 250lbs. At age 41 I took charge of feeding myself by preparing all of my own meals, no more fast foods! I created a way to use my love of cooking, food, and eating to permanently lose over 100lbs. During this time I discovered kettlebells and my own style of training The Kettlebell Swing, bringing out my inner athlete and erasing all signs of former lifelong obesity. It's never too late, YOU CAN DO IT!

Tracyrif Socksleeve Tutorial

In case you missed this posting on Facebook, here is a short video I took yesterday morning about how I use my socksleeves:

It's not just about cutting up some socks, I share how I "place" them on my hands and how I use a "fold-over" technique to better protect my hands from the friction fast moving kettlebell can produce.

I went to Marshalls to stock up on some new hand protection. These childrens Nike brand quarter length socks are the ones I found fit the best and after cutting are holding up the best.
