10 kg Kettle Bell

I did it. Really pushed myself today and did a complete workout with the 10kg Kettle Bell. That's 22 lbs of weight. Gosh, that was tough. I am out of breath and my heart is pumping. What a good workout with a decent weight.

Kettle Bell Deadlift
Goblet
Russian Swing
Around the World
American Swing

15 reps, 3 sets, 15 minutes with breathers. Wait! 90 swings, better do that last 10 ..... Done it (yes, seriously), 100 swings! 😊


23 days in. I have gone from 6kg to 10kg. Definitely a result there. I feel stronger and I have never done this much exercise before. Glad I have finally found an exercise that I enjoy. I know that I will have to use heavy dumbbells if I want decent muscle definition, but I have plenty of time and really want to burn some calories off.

I swear my bum is getting bigger. I think it has lifted up a bit too. I don't want it bigger, it's big enough as it is. I am already pear shaped! 😟 I think it might be time to take some pictures so that I can compare my results in the Summer. I really can't wait for the Summer, it will be lovely to do my early morning workout in the garden, barefoot on the grass in the morning sun. 🌅

Week 2 Fat Loss Journey

Fat Loss Not Weight Loss Notice I have changed my wording. This is to keep me motivated (which today I am not). I have put on 1lb, I think this was probably my Sunday dinner yesterday. But I am hopeful that muscle weighs more than fat and this 1lb is muscle. Who am I kidding? 😂 I am really not motivated today. I feel so tired. I did not sleep well. So, before my workout I looked for some inspirational images to get me going. My workout today was weight training and trying out my abs machine (more on that later). I have only targeted body areas that I don't think are covered fully in my Kettle Bell Workout or where I would like more improvement. This is personal to me and also depends on my own physical ability. My Beginners Weight Training Program 15 reps, 3 sets, 30 minutes with little stops in-between. Bicep Curl Dumbbell Bench Press Dumbbell Hammer Curl Shoulder Shrug Calf Raise Sit Ups on Abs Machine Leg Raises on Abs Machine Full Stretch on Abs Machine O

Injured Lower Back from Kettlebell Swings

Image
So yesterday I started back up with the full kettle bell workout I've been using: 12 reps Kettlebell Deadlift 12 reps Goblet 12 reps Russian Swings 12 reps Around the World 12 reps American Swings X1 set with 8kg kettle bell and X2 sets with 10kg kettle bell. This morning I tried to turn over in bed and had terrible pain in my left lower back. Trying to get out of bed was even more interesting. If it wasn't for the pain, it would have been quite comical. Searching on the internet, it seems likely to be my form and I think I have pinpointed it to swinging too low. Over the course of my research I have found that I should aim the kettle bell on the down move towards my 'zipper' and also (just in case) on the up, stop at 1 'o'clock just in case I am overextending. Today, I will try to complete my workout using my 6kg kettle bell until I get my form right. The 8kg kettle bell that I used yesterday is far too big for kettle bell swings. The handle is quite

Goal Setting - 200 Kettle Bell Swings

Image
I did a good cardio workout today and just did kettle bell swings. My aim was for 200 Kettle Bell Swings but I did 225 in about 15 minutes with breathers in-between sets. Today's workout: 50 reps 6 kg 50 reps 6 kg 15 reps x 5, (75 swings) 8kg 25 reps 8kg 25 reps 6kg I'm mainly swinging from waist level to eye level, but my last set of 25 reps I did the American Swing. Really pleased with the progress I am making in strength, but not so much on the inch/fat loss side. This is the start of Week 4. Let's hope I see some good results at the end of the week. My jeans are still tight!😞 Image Credits: Pixabay : webandi
