I won’t pretend they’re my first choice when it comes to meat. A roast leg of lamb sounds more appetizing to me than lamb heart and lungs. Nevertheless, organ meats were a staple throughout history, and they’re still very much in vogue in traditional ethnic cuisines from all over.

When the temperature drops to an “extreme cold-alert” status, it would seem logical for most to stay indoors. And that was the case for most today in Toronto, as the temperature hit -20°C and the wind-chill made it feel closer to -30. That’s brutally cold.

As I’m sure you’re aware, kettlebells are hardly new to the fitness world. They have been used in Russia and Eastern Europe for over a hundred years, and some suggest they may have earlier roots that can be traced back to the ancient Greeks.

No wonder that so many trainers are choosing to get certified as kettlebell instructors.
