This week was a good week of workouts and getting my results in on Thursday was a good way to keep the momentum going.
Friday was another HWR day with a 19 minute workout session in the 20/10 format. It was a good way to start the day and keep things moving.
Today's workout was a return to kettlebell snatches, something I'm drawn to once again because I know how useful they can be in helping boost fat loss and amping up your metabolism.
I used a 35# kettlebell and followed the 20/10 format structure. When you do 1 arm snatches this way, you can get in a lot of work and allow a lot of rest on each side.
8 reps were done per side, per minute, getting in 16/minute total over 10 minutes, 160 to finish.
I haven't done a brief, intense workout like this in quite a while and I know I need more of them in my schedule this winter. My plans are to alternate these workouts with the HWR sessions and increase up to 20 minutes of doing it in the 20/10 work/rest format. Once I get to 20 minutes, then its time to boost up to 40# for the KB and start at 10 minutes again, creeping back up to 20.
It's a simple progression to follow over time.
It reminded me how much I missed Kettlebells. :)
