This morning was a pretty quick workout, as I had another late night and not much time in the morning to get something in. I went with 300 swings with the 40# kettlebell, with the option to workout tonight as well for perhaps a heavier KB cleans workout.
After using the 53# one all week, the 40# KB felt like it was a paperweight in comparison for this workout.
This weekend gives me a good opportunity to go over more workout plans and goals and really lay things out for the 24 Day Challenge I'll be starting in January.
The more I'm doing work with my kettlebells, I may pop open some KB books I have and see if anything catches my eye on a new exercise or routine to practice.
One thing with kettlebell training is that it is a workout where you must incorporate practices as the workout itself, and not have the end goal of just getting torched from a workout with them.
Yes, its a great feeling, but over the course of time, you can't physically pound your body into oblivion and expect it to perform.
The more I've done KB work, the more I want to get into trying the competitive side of it. It always seems to intrigue me, more and more, as I look at it. I think it would be a nice compliment to my running and allow me to really develop strength and power in an off-season of running, or perhaps do it year-round.
Maybe 2017 will be a competitive year for me in the KB lifts?
Perhaps the 24 Day Challenge will inspire me to do so!
