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

It's Been a Month

Update - I am holding right at 145 lbs and not eating the best since it is the holidays. I plan to hang out here and then lose the last 5 lbs. starting in January. It shouldn't be too hard.

Today's workout was a killer for me. I started with Cardio, running: 5 minutes walking warm-up (3.5 - 4.0) and then I did a circuit where I ran in 2 minute intervals 5.0, 5.5, 6.0, 5.5, 5.0 (1 interval) 5.1, 5.6, 6.1, 5.6, 5.1 (2nd interval), 5.2, 5.7, 6.2, 5.7, 5.2 (3rd interval) this took me to 3.22 miles. I had to jump of to use the little girls room and then jumped back on and did a 13 minute run/walk mile. A total of 4.22 miles and about 550 calories.

Then we did the weight training workout. Marc put out these dumbells: 35 lbs, 45 lbs, 55 lbs, 65 lbs, 75 lbs, 85 lbs and 95 lbs. The first round we deadlifted each dumbell for 20 reps, The second round we deadlifted them each for 30 reps and the third round we deadlifted them each for 50 reps. I had to stop on the third round at 3 reps into the 85 lbs because my back spasmed up and I couldn't stand straight.

It was hard. My hair was drenched in sweat after each workout and I didn't smell any too good. Tomorrow is KB day - I just decided we are going to do the VO2 max protocal workout. Fun!
