Day 8: Kettlebells and a Ride

Last night, I decided to ride my indoor bike for a half-hour workout of 10 miles on it.  I kept my heart rate watch on to track that, my average rate was in the upper 120's and I kept it pretty steady overall for a nice and easy workout. 

This morning called for some more kettlebell cleans, so I went back to the 53# one, doing 10 reps/side x 4 rounds of that (40 reps), every 3 minutes, up to 18 minutes total for 240 reps of the workout. 

The KettleShield wrist bands I got work great at absorbing the impact of the kettlebell against the forearm on those high rep sets. 

They are a really great investment if you plan to do a lot of kettlebell ballistic lifts, like cleans, clean & presses, clean & jerks, plus snatches.

My diet really struggles on a weekend, I've noticed.  Just a lot of time to watch TV and usually eat something. I tried taking a nap in the afternoon on Sunday, and the bike ride later helped me a bit.
I had a shake after the ride and that did help some cravings in the evening.  My plans are to get the diet in check over the new week.  I have 3 days left of the Cleanse phase and want it to end well.
