8/9 Monday's KB Workout

This week's kettlebell workout we wrapped Turkish Get Ups(TGU's) with 100 kettlebell swings.  The first set of 100 was done with alternating single arm swings and was timed.  The second set, (the last one) was 100 two-handed swings.

One marker of your improved fitness is testing with 100 swings and going for time.   Do this AFTER you've had some time to devote to developing a solid swing.  If you aren't sure you have a good swing, contact an RKC, myself or another trainer, and get a good critique of your form.  Once you have the swing down, and are conditioned with your bell of choice, you are ready to test.

General recommendation for determining when to move up in a bell size is when you can easily swing 100 reps under 2:30.

In this week's workout we had two people get under 2:30, each swinging hardstyle.

This means these two people should be moving up in bell size for swings.  Where should they get their bells?  Well...  good news!  DragonDoor kettlebells are now available LOCALLY (for San Jose kettlebellers).  Stop by Park Road Fitness for more information!

Nice work people!
