If It Works, Keep Doing What You're Doing

Greetings,

With a day off from work, it was a nice morning to sleep in a bit and get in a good workout with the kettlebell to start the week and day off on a good note.

Since my treadmill 5K race, I looked back in my journals and noticed that Swings were a pretty good staple for my workouts this winter. Paired up with some total body workout routines and some frequent running workouts outside, I'm getting pretty anxious for the spring weather to get here and really get in the outdoor mileage.

Since Swings are just a staple for me over the last 10 years, its no wonder I keep returning to a period of doing Swings as the meat & potatoes of my preparation.

Like I said, if it works, keep doing what you're doing, and for me, its keep doing some KB Swings as a staple.

Today was a 400 rep workout for Swings, using my 40# kettlebell.

I did 100 reps every 3:30 in time, so basically 100 reps in 2:40-45 for time, rest until 3:30 comes up. 

This is 200 in 7 minutes, and 400 in 14 minutes of time.

I know I'll keep doing Swings as a solid staple until the weather becomes pretty pleasant for outdoor running sessions.  Come spring/summer, I usually switch over to running and cycling as my big exercise modes.  The KB's will still be a good addition to my total body routines.

Today's Bulletproof Coffee mixture was a change:

OG Caramel Vanilla - 10 oz brewed from the BrewKup
1 tbsp. organic butter
1 tbsp. organic coconut oil

I did have another plain cup of OG Caramel Vanilla afterwards to get 2 servings out of that cup.

Yes, the new Caramel Vanilla is an awesome coffee for both BP mixtures and as a stand-alone cup of joe.
