I discovered your website several days ago whilst searching the web for some innovative kettlebell exercises to spice up my own workouts; and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with the quality of the content of this site!
I tried this workout yesterday. My verdict: top marks! Great for a conditioning workout, I love the couplet idea, and the variety and balance between opposing exercises. My legs are sore today however!:)
I had to modify the renegade row as I badly timed my trip to the gym to coincide with a kettlebell class. They stole the wide base kettlebells and I was left with the other non-wide base variety, which of course, did not work well for that particular exercise! I also don’t own a GymBoss Timer (didn’t think my stopwatch would be appropriate to use whilst performing the exercises) so I estimated the 40 sec effort period by following your indication of reps to aim for in that time.
Thanks again Marianne – you’re my new fitness role model!

I appreciate the “line” Jim, I like to hear what people think, and whether people are getting enough info and ideas.

Glad you enjoyed this workout, it was a lot harder than I expected.

Cheers
Marianne

Just thought I’d drop you a line to say this was a tough workout. I was one big ball of sweat afterwards, but I think that’s how it should be for a healthier life. I did stop and walk around a couple of times during this workout to bring my heart rate down a little only to have it shoot back up.After all the years of working out, I learned to go at my pace and still push myself the whole time. I really like the pause on the gymboss so I can pick up when I’m ready to go again. Thanks again for going that extra mile to make sure were know what to do and how to do it.
Jim

Happy days Minnie, sounds like you’re making real progress!! Well done, seriously!! 😀 😀 😀

Glad you don’t mind the wall lol, it kinda warms the room up a bit.

You must let me know what you think of the wider KBs when you get them.

Marianne

The fact you have a wordpress site makes it very easy! It’s no problem at all.

I tried your workout last night, my god!! It was tough, I didn’t get nearly the amount of reps you got but that is definitely something to work towards!! I really enjoyed it though. With all this snow in Dublin it is really awkward to get to the gym and cycle anywhere so I’ll be doing my workouts at home for the next while!! I definitely need more KBs (I only have a 12kg and 8kg).

Thanks again for the great workout 🙂

I’ll try this workout tomorrow,looks like fun. Hey great news, I was finally able to do the KB rows. Being that I don’t yet have the wide based kettlebells I positioned the kettlebells against a wall put myself into position and rowed. Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!! I was so happy. I knew it wasn’t the weight,it was the thought of the kettlebell tipping over and my landing on my face etc.that prevented me from doing the renegade. I used the 12kg kettelbells. So…. now I’m going to order the wide based kettlebells and I’m on my way to bigger and better workouts.
What a great feeling. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned that I like your new workout room, the orange wall is fine. Besides I’m watching you and your form the wall is just there. No distraction here. Good luck min your new home. Wish you and Andrew well.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
Minnie:)

Thanks Roxanne, I appreciate the support. It does take up time, but it’s enjoyable too (otherwise I wouldn’t do it). But it’s frustrating when you want to do more, but time won’t allow it. I will have a new workout and the first tutorial up over the next couple of days. The tutorials will start with the most common exercises I use in my kettlebell workouts. Then I will develop it from there.

I hope that you find them helpful.

Cheers
Marianne
