Thursday's kettlebell class was the first one we did this week as Monday was a holiday. It was fun to get back with the group and swing some iron around. Here is the workout we did:
Kettlebell Swings 3 sets x right hand for 5 reps + two hands for 8 reps + left hand for 5 reps
1 Hand Kettlebell Clean and Squat Thrust 3 sets x 5 reps per side
1 Hand Floor Press + 1 Hand Rack Walk 3 x 6
Kettlebell High Pull and Catch into Overhead Walk 3 x 6
Kettlebell Curl to Overhead to Triceps Extension 3 x 8
1 Arm Farmers Walk (keep straight upright) 2 x circumference of the room
As you can see we did some complexes here (adding exercises together into one movement). This made the workout more demanding than it appear on paper. We also did a some walking movements with the kettlebells. Carrying drills are great because they make the whole body work together. Doing Farmers walks, overhead walks or side loaded walks will really challenge your ability to remain stable and tight, making you stronger overall. Plus they get you sweating pretty darn fast!
