Kettlebell Practice – Thursday – Lower Body
I woke up feeling a bit out of it today, and wasn’t sure how I would do with my kettlebell practice. Elise designed a pretty tough Beginner Lower Body Workout, but I got through it alright. This is what it looked like:
10 2 Hand Swings
10 Front Squats
10 Reverse Lunges (5R, 5L)
10 Single Hand Swings R
10 Single Hand Swings L
10 Clean & Squats (5R, RL)
She suggests a rest as needed between exercises and then a longer rest after the the circuit. Then repeat.
I just wanted to match the same effort as the last time I did this lower body workout, and I managed that. Every day doesn’t have to be ground breaking. (I’ve been repeating that to myself all day.)
I’m probably taking a rest day tomorrow since today was iffy. The elbow is bugging me today also, which is another good reason to rest.
good job! The good thing about iffy days is they end!
Great job! Yep, there are days to push hard, and other days when it’s better to be conservative in your training. There are so many factors that can affect the quality of a workout: how you ate, how you slept, where you are in your monthly cycle if you’re female … and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
niiiiice. kb circuit – rinse & repeat.
make sure you are doing a proper warm-up before using kbs. joint mobility exercises to get the synovial fluid going, lubricate the joints. stay strong.
