The New Beginning

Third swing workout since surgery


last taped workout before surgery



Beginning workout

20 2 hand swings w/8kg, 30 sec. on 1 min rest x 10 sets = 15 min (200 reps)

I added 5 sets of 20 reps w/8kg, 30 sec work, 30 sec rest = 5 min (100 reps)

I will only swing the 8kg, and only 2 handed, for the next 2 weeks. I'm hoping to increase the sets to 1 min long next week.

    Hi Tracy,

    I am not even sure if I know how I stumbled upon your blog, but I have been reading and lurking for awhile now. You are an inspiration and I am learning a lot from your blog. KB training looks fun. Are there any "beginner" videos/books you recommend?

    Thanks, Gina

    Hi Gina,

    Welcome, and thank you for your comment.

    I would have to recommend "Enter the Kettlebell" (ETK), you can order it online through our website (giryastrength.com), or on Mark's blog (Rifs Blog).

    ETK will show you how to use a KB, but for ideas for training, and routines, nothing takes the place of a good personal trainer certified in Russian Kettlebells

    Tracy,
    Glad to see that your surgery went well and that you are doing fine. I've had a few "surgery layoffs"...yea, not so fun:) Congratulations on recovering so well and starting your "new lifestyle". Keep up the good work.
