KettleBell Training Help
Discussion
Evening all,
Recently I have been finding myself with less and less time to go to the gym, Ive been looking around at effective home work outs, and have seen kettlebells mentioned frequently. I ordered a 18kg Wolverson Competition KB last week (16kg was out of stock, and I wasn't feeling macho enough for the 20kg) it arrived last Thursday and Ive used it a few times since. I've watched through the free DVD and attempted the workout, unfortunately my fitness level isn't yet good enough to be able to complete the DVD without pausing.
Instead of pausing for longer and longer through out the DVD, I found that 12 reps of each exercise was achievable. Some of the exercises take less than the 30 seconds on the DVD and some more, but I just wanted some of the more experienced KB users to look over this list to make sure I haven't missed anything.
2 handed swing
Right hand swing
Left hand swing
Left hand high pull
Right hand high pull
Left hand cleans
Right hand cleans
Left hand shoulder press
Right hand shoulder press
Right arm squat
Left arm row
Left arm squat
Right arm row
Left hand snatch
Right hand snatch
Left leg forward lunge (no kb)
Right leg forward lunge(no kb)
Left arm push press
Right arm push press
side lunge. Right knee bent (no kb)
Side lunge left knee bent (no kb)
Russian twist x2
I don't yet have the strength to complete a full lunge with a KB, so am doing these with out for now. I'm planning to start doing half with the kb and half without soon.
All of the above took me 30 mins this evening, what I am aiming for is to be able to complete 2 circuits within 30 mins in due time.
Is there any other moves that I should introduce to my list?
Thanks
Matt
