Today marks the mid-way point of my 30-day challenge and, surprisingly, it’s getting easier to pick up the kettlebells everyday. I’ve definitely moved myself from inertia to inspiration based on the results I’m getting.
Yes, every muscle in my body is screaming at me, but in a mere 15 days I’ve already noticed a difference in my abs, quads, delts and biceps. That’s enough to keep me going another 15 days. After that, I should be set to coast through the holiday season eating as much Christmas stolen from the North Hill Bakery as humanly possible! Ha! Those of you who know me understand that this is a heavenly indulgence for me. In fact, it’s right up there with homemade bread pudding and cognac.
Anyway, I digress…
Tonight, I’m keeping it simple… I’m doing the same exercises from last night, but to avoid compromising my form and fatigue on the last few exercises, I’m going to switch the order.
Thought I’d start with a one-minute headstand, and then go right into abs. Here goes… I put on some Usher tonight.
(Same as last night, do as many circuits as possible in 30 minutes.)
12 KG Kettlebell sit ups – 15 Reps
Plank Push-Ups to Pop-Ups – 15 Reps
Figure 8′s – 15 Reps/each direction
Get Ups to side plank – 10 Reps/side
Around the Worlds, standing on one leg – 25 Reps. Change direction – 25 Reps (remember to lift quad of the standing leg)
Around the Worlds, standing on other leg – 25 Reps. Change direction – 25 Reps
Clean and Press – 10 Reps/side
Double-Handed Swings – 20 Reps
Hand-to-Hand Swings – 30 Reps
Single-Handed Swings – 20 Reps/side
Repeat the fun!
