Kick Ass Kettlebells

Hi everyone,

So last night Andrew and I went to an Alzheimer’s Society Gala Ball in add of the Mont Blanc Climb next month. The target is £30,000.  The climbers are funding their own climb, so any money made last night went directly to the charity. Andrew contributed personal training sessions in the auction and we all entered into the ballot. Unfortunately I didn’t win anything 🙁 All the same, the evening was a success, raising the total fund to approx £20,000 – which is a great achievement.

This money will go directly to helping individuals and families living with this terrible illness in Northern Ireland, and will also fund much needed research into finding a cure!

As promised I am back today with a new workout. I thought I would keep things simple due to the effects of my night out LOL!

The Workout

So there are 6 exercises, 3 rounds, making this a short 18 min workout. I set my Gymboss Interval Timer for 18 cycles of 15 seconds rest and 45 seconds MAX effort.

The 6 exercises are:

  1. 2-Handed KB Swings
  2. Alternating Forward Lunges with Double KB Shoulder Presses
  3. Alternating KB Swings
  4. KB Curtsy (right)
  5. KB Curtsy (left)
  6. Double KB High Pulls

I did the shoulder presses and high pulls with my 8kg KBs, because I didn’t have two 12kg KB home with me. I am actually quite glad I didn’t, or I would have forced myself to use them. This workout was harder than I expected, probably due to the wine last night – or because the hairspray was running into my eyes when I was sweating LOL … mental note – never do a workout with an up-style 😉

I hope you will try this workout – I’m sure you will all do great at it.

See you next time

Marianne
