Heated Hallway KB!
I've done a couple of short KB workouts in my hallway recently. Because we have a floor furnace I can get it really hot and I can close off my hallway from the rest of our house so I've done a couple of short heated KB workouts recently. The first 2 (one each week) I used the 8kg (18lbs) and did 5 min sets (200 reps) w/2 min. rest x 4 or 5.
Yesterday I came home from my Bikram yoga class, cranked up the heat, and picked up the 12kg! It was my intention to do 2 min sets w/1 min rest, but after 90 min of hot yoga I knew 1 min sets w/ 30 sec rests were more doable! So here's what I did,
40 transfers. 1 min work
30 sec rest
10/10/10/10 1 hand swings, 1 min work
30 sec. rest
40 2 hand swings, 1 min work,
30 sec. rest
I repeated these 3 sets in this order x6 = 27 min, 720 swings total.
Another fascinating way to train! Do you count each and every swing, or do you just know you pace and go for time?
ReplyDeleteLeslie, I know my pace is 40 rep/min. sets.
ReplyDeleteI like that 16kg bell is the same size as the 32kg..it makes you look really bad ass!
ReplyDeleteYou will get that snatch goal. I passed the snatch test with the 16kg 19/19. I started with 3 reps and worked my way up to 25/25. I would take a couple breaths at the top, (not that you need to) or that I could during the RKC test :) and if I can do it, you can too! that is pretty much where I am at now :) though 5 reps :) I too had forgotten how heavy that bell is to snatch!
Regina,
ReplyDeleteYes, let'd not forget what's really important....looking bad ass! LOL
The smaller handle really does make a difference.
