Cathe and Kettlebell Users...

[ColoradoSooner]

I'm just starting to dip my toes into the world of kettlebells. If you do both, could you post how you integrate the two? I'm thinking something like:

Day 1: PUB
Day 2: Cardio
Day 3: Kettlebell
Day 4: Cardio
Day 5: PLB
Day 6: Yoga or Cardio

What do you think?

Also, is AOS Providence a good video to start with? Or should I work up to it?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

Did my first Kettleball workout ever - today and it was Providence. I highly recommend this DVD.

Your schedule looks fine. You'll find that kettlebells will give you a great cardio workout also, and that it's highly addictive! I'm sure you'll be adding kettlebell days soon. And, Providence is a good place to start with the AOS dvds. They also have the Clinic instructional dvds that will teach you the basics.

That looks like a good schedule to me.

And Providence is a good start (better might be "The Kettlebell Way 1", a remake of Providence with a tutorial section and a co-instructor).

You may have to work up to Providence/KBW1: just do what you can, go at your pace, and if you feel your form slipping, stop the move (do NOT go for faillure, especially on swings). They go for 2-minute rounds, but you might start out with 1 minute or even 30 seconds.

Thank you all! I'm really excited about the kettlebells and just wanted to make sure I was going in the right direction! Thanks again for the help!
