Today’s workout had all kinds of fun in it. We’re back into using kettlebells more, which is great because I always feel like I’ve done some work after swinging them around! We also tried out a new routine, and it was different. I still ended up in the same place I always do when doing one of these, e.g. Fran, Helen, etc. - on the floor, sweating like a pig, and gasping for air! Lovely.
Warmup:
- 30 Bodyweight Squats
- 30 KB Swings @ 24 kg
- Snatch Training - getting the muscles grooved in.
Workout:
- 60 Dumbbell Thrusters @ 2 20# ‘bells
- 9:00 of the following:
- 3:00 Rowing for calories: 62
- 3:00 Pull-ups: 26
- Push-ups: 72
- Grand Total: 161 (plus the sweating on the ground, can’t miss that!)
- 6:00 Double Kettlebell Swings @ 2 16 kg ‘bells: 93 (not bad)
- Feet-to-hands form work: 16 reps
- 30 Overhead Squats @ 45 lbs
That 9:00 drill in the middle of the workout there was the new routine. I liked it because it works different muscle groups, and there are few people I know who will be good at all three of these movements. So, there are some definite challenges there. For example, getting done w/the row, being winded, and then going and doing pull-ups where those muscles are relatively fresh (alas, the kipping pull-up continues to elude me). Weird to think of starting pull-ups as a way to catch your breath. Plus, 9:00 of doing anything at a high tempo is going to make one sweat. A lot. Good stuff, methinks.
