Hi everyone,
I got a comment from Suz, who suggested one of her Kettlebell workouts for me to try. The workout was as follows:
“Kettlebell
50 x 2 Armed Swing
25 x 1 arm Swing Left
25 x 1 arm Swing Right
25 x Low Pull Left
25 x Low Pull Right
25 x Clean Right
25 x Clean Left
25 x Clean and Press Left
25 x Clean and Press Right
25 x Snatch Left
25 x Snatch Right
5x Turkish get up right
5x Turkish get up Left “
Suz completed this in 20 mins and 21 seconds with an 8kg KB.
I have changed a couple of things just to suit me better. As I was using a 12kg, I couldn’t do 25 clean and presses and then straight into another 25 cleans, my forearms would’ve been dead LOL, so I reduced the reps to 15 and changed the order. I also did high pulls instead of low pulls as I’m not sure how to do low pulls.
The hardest exercise for me, which cost me vital time, was the Turkish Get Ups! It has been ages since I last did a TGU, let alone with 12kg. So this put me at a disadvantage. I didn’t have my 8kg or 10kg home, so I couldn’t swap 🙁
Anyway, enough excuses. Here is my modified version of Suz’s workout:
- 2-Handed KB Swings x 50 reps
- Single-Handed KB Swings x 25 reps (left and right)
- Double KB High Pulls x 25 reps (total)
- KB Clean and presses x 15 (left and right)
- KB Turkish Get Ups x 5 reps (left and right)
- KB Cleans x 15 reps (left and right)
- KB Snatches x 25 reps (left and right)
Today I used my Gymboss Interval Timer as a stopwatch. So, my time for this workout was 24 minutes and 20 seconds.
Give either version a try and let me know your times 🙂
