yesterday

Walked a mile and

Kettlebell workout:

20 swing
7 clean & press left, 10 right
8 pull ups on soccer goal
7 snatch left, 10 snatch right
20 front squats

20 swing
5 clean/press left, 7 right
7 pull ups
6 snatch left, 9 snatch right
20 front squats

Those front squats and swings are killer

I rested probably a max of 1 minute between each thing, kept my heart racing

I may try a workout with more resting at some point and do more reps or more set. Lots of options to vary

Finally, back to a real workout

So after a couple weeks of moving (and helping others move), partying (bday and others), and taking a vacation, I'm back to a workout. And a hell of one it was (see me ralphing).

I walked 1.5 miles at work

Took the kettlebell out to a little park after work (still about 100 degrees outside at teh time and sticky)

Warm-up: jogged 2 laps around park

Everything with 20 kilo (44lb) kettlebell:

The cycle (short rest between each exercise, 30 sec - 2 minute)

two-handed swing x 20
one-arm clean x 10 x each arm
pull-up x 10
one-arm snatch right x 10
one-arm snatch left x 10
front squat x 20

rested for like 3-4 minutes

two-handed swing x 20
one-arm clean & jerk x 5 (left) , x 7 (right)
pull-up x 10
one-arm snatch left x 4
one-arm snatch right x 6
front squat x 20

(puke) . I dunno it was just the workout, or maybe the heat, but I was straight up cached like I haven't been since high school wrestling practices. I will be doing this workout or very similar for a while because it was quick, fun, painful, and outside in the sunshine. I dig it.

5 days

Walked about 2.7 miles today when I got home putting me just over 30 miles for the last 5 days.

at work

3.25 miles at work bring me to 27.5 for the week. 2.5 + a little extra when I get home for a total of 30+ miles for 5 days. I was sore on day 2, now my legs feel strong.

Yesterday (Thursday)

Walked 3 miles at work + 4 3/4 miles at home for 7 3/4 total.

Total since monday: 24 1/4 miles. Shooting for 30 for this mon-friday.

yesterday

walked for 1.5 miles at work, then 4.25 miles when I got home.

Kettlebell:

2-hand swings x 20

1 arm clean x 10 x each arm

1 arm snatch x 5 (right arm)

1 arm press and hold (left) x 10-15 seconds x 2 (left arm/shoulder not yet strong enough to do snatches safely)

pull-ups x 10 (very slowly)

Thats puts me around 16 1/2 miles for teh last 3 days. Gonna shoot for at least 25 through Friday, gotta make sure I don't end up with puffy knees though. (or sand in my sniz for that matter)
