Hola! Yes, I am doing some serious back posting today, however, if I don’t back post, I won’t post at all. I apologize to the 14 people who come to the site regularly!
Friday’s workout at FitPro was killer, just in the sense that Bill timed me on the circuits that I’ve learned over the past few weeks, and set goals for each. For some reason, I conveniently didn’t know that building up to your highest weight and counting your reps while timing yourself is actually part of kettlebell training.
See, I’m one of those folks who, for better or worse, learns best in the “classroom.” In this case, the studio. I’m not going to do a lot of extra research once my curiosity’s been satisfied. I guess that’s why I was a “B” student in college.
Anyway, back to my workout. I was timed with the 12kg and two 8kgs, depending on the exercise. For those of you just joining us, 1 kilogram is just a little more than 2 pounds of weight.
I walked away with this worksheet:
Warm Up: Stretch deadlift with 12kg for 2 minutes, swing for 1 minute; Thrusters with two 8kg for 1 minute, Cleans with two 8kg for 1 minute
Exercise 1: Alternate Cleans with two 8kg (15, 20, then 15) with Chest expander exercises
Exercise 2: Long cycle (clean and press) with two 8kgs: 10, 10, then 8 reps in 1 minute, with 1 minute of rest in between
It’s no wonder I felt like I had a good workout!
Saturday, I got my “wakey wakey” wake up call from Lia, my power partner. I got up to “544,” but realized that I had started to fall asleep again, and I could not keep my eyes open. That was a sign.
I asked and was granted an hour extension. We met at the Farmer’s Market at Kapiolani Community College, two kiddos in strollers.
Our walk downhill to my favorite cafe was uneventful, and once we got our lattes, we were ready to roll… Well, we were ready to roll, but my nephew decided to tell me he needed to “544″ when we were halfway up the hill.
Rather than chance it, we rolled back down hill, went to the restroom, did a quick change, and then meandered back to the Farmer’s Market. According to Lia’s pedometer, that turn-around added about 1/2 mile to our walk, so we did about 2 miles that morning:
