After reading, watching television and doing chores around the house I finally got outside and began my kettlebell practice around 1500. It was sunny but cooler than the last few days.
Performance PreparationOriginal Strength Reset
- Cross Crawl - 20 per side
- Crocodile Breathing - 2 minutes
- Head Nods - 20 reps
- Rolling - 5 reps left and right leading w/ arms then legs
- Rocking - 20 reps
- Crawling - 3 minutes
- Two Hand Kettlebell Swings 10 x 10 x 35 lbs
- Turkish Get Ups 5 x 1 x 25 lbs per side
Performance prep went well. I was really only intending to do the Original Strength Reset and the other preparatory movements. I was going to leave it at that, just to get loosened up. But I felt good once I was done with that, so I went on and started my kettlebell practice. The movement prep took 19:09.
The kettlebell swings felt good. Again, my lower back is adjusting nicely to the full ten sets of swings that are called for. I can do the swings in about 15 seconds, then I rest 45 seconds. Following this pattern, the swings take 10 minutes. I've not yet tried to reduce the rest time. Eventually the goal is to do 100 swings within 5 minutes.
I felt strong during the get ups. Form was good as well. I want to increase the weight but I also need to be patient. I want to make sure I own the weights, sets and reps I'm currently doing before moving up. I also want to make sure I don't aggravate any old injuries or cause new ones. Total kettlebell practice time was 21:06. This was my tenth straight training session and nineteenth in twenty days. I got in 9385 steps yesterday.
