Kettlebell Practice – Beautiful Thursday
I’ve decided I’m naming these work outs that Elise designed. Today’s will be known as Beautiful. It’s one with very fluid movements, a sweet blend of cardio and strength. Everything is unilateral – Kettlebell Swing, Swing Clean, Squat, Press. I used the 12kg throughout this time. I considered adding an extra set at the end, but I was too fatigued to do many more cleans and/or presses. So instead I just did more swings. I borrowed my friend, www.twitter.com/kravmascara ’s, idea and did one hand swings for :30 per side and then :30 rest. It didn’t take too many rounds before I was toast. Total workout time 22:23. I burned 203 calories. But we all know that the afterburn is what counts. 
Afterburn is a beautiful thing
.
What a gr8 idea naming the workouts. And especially with such beguiling names!
I’m afraid I can’t take credit for such a basic swing circuit. But I’m thankful for the mention.
POWER TO YOU COMRADE!
LOL, yes it is basic, Sarah, but who needs complicated when something like this works to perfection? I can’t think clearly enough for “elaborate” in an intense workout anyway!
Julie – I so agree! Let’s get the word out – most women have never heard of afterburn!
HI Sarah!
That workout sounds fabulous.. think I might give it a try myself.
Have you seen the goddess workout video yet w/ RKC Andrea Ducane? Very nice… beautiful and tough, just like women… and talk about afterburn…
Your journey is your own, enjoy every stride you make… every step forward is one closer to your goal!
Happy Swings!
Jennifer, I have read about the Andrea Du Cane DVD, and seen her in some videos. That DVD is on my Most Wanted List!
I think I’m going to steal this for my workout today. It’s absolutely elegant.
