goodbye/fun facts....national kettlebell day. The kettlebell, cast-iron weight, shaped like a cannonball with a handle...it's origins trace back to 18th-century Russia, where it was initially used as a counterweight for measuring goods. Over time, Russian farmers and strongmen began using kettlebells for strength training. In 1948, kettlebell lifting became the national sport of the Soviet Union. Circus strongmen frequently demonstrated their power with the kettlebell. Some of these circus folk even came to America with their kettlebells, establishing their gyms here, and introducing the American public to this cool new fitness fad. By the 1950s, this new trend had almost vanished from all fitness centers and gyms, however, and would only come back years later. Kettlebells are a great workout tool, burning more calories than your average exercise...an elliptical machine burns only 50 to 125 calories during the same time a kettlebell exercise would burn 300 calories.

goodbye/fun facts....national apricot day...related to the peach, the apricot's velvety flesh is quite similar. However, the texture of the golden-orange fruit is firmer, and the flavor more tart than its cousin's. Apricots originated in northeastern China near the Russian border in ancient times. Later, the fruit was introduced to Europe and Armenia. The apricot found its way to North America when English colonists settled in Virginia. The apricot is a versatile ingredient lending itself to both sweet and savory dishes. Perfect for snacking, apricots are the best fresh off the tree...and dried, they are delicious in healthy granola or a salad. Plus they are loaded with vitamins including Vitamin C, B-6, Magnesium, Iron, and Calcium, and are also an excellent source of fiber.
