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

Terror and Death Workout

Tuesday nights class was the WORST KB class ever. It wasn't supposed to be but I think the humidity just about did us in. I swear I was green 45 minutes in.

First we set up two KB's about 40 yards apart. On one end a medium KB (I used a 20 Kg), on the other end a normal KB (I had a 12 kg.)

Start on the light end with alternating reps (one rep right, alternating swing, one rep left) 20 per arm (thats 80 reps total with the swings in between).

Cleans (alternating 20 reps per) run 40 yards do 50 swings run 40 yards back.
Clean & Press (alternating, 20 reps per) run, do the swings, run back.
Snatch (the same) run, so the swings, run back.
1 arm clean and squat (the same) run, do the swings, run back.

Repeat.

Earlier in the day I ran 2 miles in 18 minutes.

Been Busy

During Marc's surgery I didn't do much. And my energy last week was slow so I didn't accomplish a whole lot.

Saturday, May 1

KB class - w/ a 12 kg we did 10 walking swings (to parallel) and then 5 squats. We did 3 rounds of this then took a break. We did it for about 1/4 a mile in 1 hour. It was hard.

After that I had time to kill before my next client so I went out and pulled the sled. I had the light sled with 40 lbs. My goal was to do 6 laps but I ended up doing 10. The book I was listening to was good so I just kept going.

Monday, May 3

I ran this morning for 35 minutes. Then with marc we did upper body sled. I had 10 lbs. on my sled and we did 1 lap with reps and 1 lap of static work. We ended up going around 5 times - so almost 2 miles.
