Susan's Kettlebell Training

There isn't much out there that logs entire Kettlebell Training sessions. You can get them, but they aren't free. This blog is going to contain not only 3 full hour long Kettlebell training sessions a week BUT also 3 full hour Strength Training sessions and commentary by me: Susan J.f. Bartley, Personal trainer and RKC Level I & II at South Carolina Barbell in Columbia, SC

Tuesday night KB's

Ok, so sometimes I lie in bed dreaming up KB workouts. When I am in bed they seem wonderful, and harmless when in actuality they are quite brutal. Last night was one of those workouts. Here is what we did - the track we worked on was 1/3 a mile.

1 Snatch Right hold the KB overhead and take 10 steps
1 Snatch Left hold the KB overhead and take 10 steps

2 Snatches Right hold the KB overhead and take 10 steps
2 Snatches Left hold the KB overhead and take 10 steps.

etc... until you have done 10 snatches per arm.

This took us exactly 1/4 of the way around our track. So then I improvised a little bit.

11 Snatches per arm 10 steps (each arm)
12 Snatches per arm 20 steps (each arm)
13 Snatches per arm 30 steps (each arm)
etc....

We actually only made it to 17 before we ran out of track. Everyone did well even though it was a butt kicker. 2 of my ladies who have recently graduated to the 12 Kg for most everything did it with that weight. It was their first time going around the track with the 12Kg and they struggled but finished.

My traps were so tight afterwards that I woke up with a raging headache at 3 am and had to get up and take some advil. Now that is a hard workout:)
