I **heart** KETTLEBELLS....Valentines day weekend!

[deanie]

Good Morning and happy Valentines day


Today I did a quick workout:
I warmed up with:

the AOS flow drill:
starting on the right side:
half get-up
high pull/snatch
presses
squat with bell racked
long cycle cleans
swings
figure 8 to a hold ending in left hand
swings
long cycle clean
squat with bell racked
press
high pull/snatch
reverse half get-up ending on floor
except for the get up everything is for 30 seconds. I took a full 30 second break before the presses on the left side they are so hard for me!

then I did 3 cycles of:

• kettlebell snatches r/l
• Air Dyne sprints (I subbed with the ropes- doing alternate waves with squats)
• Spiderman push ups
• Weighted jump rope

I used 30 seconds of work and 15 seconds of rest intervals on the GymBoss. I got this workout from the NJ crossfit website.


Jane~ Good Luck in your race!! Ihope it goes well and you didn't get rain!!

Gayle~ I think you are right! I am going to try the SSST!! but I am going to work up to it, the next 2 weeks I am going to increase my snatch time and at the end of the 2 weeks (before I start ROP) I am going to try it!!!

I hope everyone has a great valentines day!!!

Good morning! I have to tighten my treadmill belt today so I can do a little HIIT later, I was very happy yesterday when I did Empire State I used my 25# for swings and deadlifts and did the whole snatch challenge with my 20#. Guess it's time to invest in a 30#! I hope Santa Monica comes today! If it does that will be my workout tomorrow!

Happy Valentine's Day to all!

Hi All !

Not sure If I'll be doing any kettlebell work or workouts today as I'm a bit hungover from drinking just two darned glasses of wine last night - I just am not a drinker and when I do imbibe it is really hard on me blech.

Have a great Valentine's day with your families

Good morning!

Deanie - Nice workout! I need to get a new Gymboss. I killed my first one and miss it.

Andilynn - Good job on Empire State! Hope SM gets here soon.

Vilma - Hope your blechy feeling goes away soon.

Run fast, Jane!

DH and I went out to dinner last night for Valentine's day, so I didn't get a workout in. I'm going to try to get a workout in this morning...maybe Providence with a light KB for a cardio/endurance thing. I'm driving part of a transport for a Boxer rescue this afternoon, so it's going to be a busy day.

Have a great day everyone!

Happy V Day to all. Did a section of Core Max yesterday. Nothing today because I am working on a research paper that is due on Monday. If I don't check in tomorrow, I will be back Monday.

Good evening everyone! I just finished Providence. I was going to skip my workout but I would have felt guilty about not checking in.
