Fitgirl: Kettlebell Class 3/8

Sorry for the late post, this is the kettle bell workout that Kirsten put us through on Sunday:

Warm up: 

  • Lunges: Same leg forward, back, and forward diagonal (alternating sides)
  • Squats
  • Inch worm with 1 push up: Hinge forward at the hip, place hands on floor, walk hands out to push up position, do 1 push up
       **This warm up was used through out the work out as bodyweight drills between kettle bell circuits.

KB Set One: I cannot remember if we did 30 sec or 1 minute of each (I believe it was one minute)
  • Double Hand Swing
  • Overhead Press
  • Sumo Squat High Pull
  • Overhead Triceps Press
Body Weight Drills One:
See warm up, but inchworm we did 2 pushups; 1 minute of each

REPEAT KB & BW DRILLS 1 MORE TIME

KB Set Two:
  • Double Hand Swing
  • Halo around head
  • Sumo Squat High Pull
  • Halo
BWDs Two:

REPEAT KB & BWD'S 1 MORE TIME

KB Set Three:
  • Around the body 360's
  • Around the body with a stall (pull weight up in front close to chest, and push it away in the other direction)
  • Squat with figure 8 around the legs
  • Squat with figure 8 other direction
BWDs Three:
See BWD's Two, but Lunge with KB

REPEAT KB & BWD'S 1 MORE TIME

KB Set Four: We did this set only 1 time & with out BWDs
  • Alternating 1 hand swing
  • Clean lift Left (this is when you pull the weight snug into your core area)
  • Clean lift Right
  • Clean and OverHead press L
  • Clean and OH press R
Swing Round: My grip strength is always challenged with this last set...good thing we only do it once!
  • Double Hand Swing
  • Sumo High Pull
  • Dbl Hand Swing/High Pull Alternating
  • Left Hand Swing
  • Right Hand Swing
  • Alternating Swing
  • Left Clean
  • Right Clean
  • Left Clean & Press
  • Right Clean & Press
Floor:
  • One arm chest press on the floor with hips in a isometric raise 10 reps each side 
  • Side planks with row pull 10 reps each side
  • Holding KB, V sit scissor legs
It was a fun workout, as usual.  If you are looking for a challenge, I highly recommend Kettle Bells!  
We have 5 more classes left :-)
