This past week was crazy busy, but now that I’ve got a little bit of time, there’s two quick workouts to share!  One was indoors, the other outdoors, but both were fun in their own way and combined strength elements with a little bit of HIIT too. I’ve continued to enjoy using the fan bike for 8 all out sets of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest at the end of workouts. More about that near the end of this previous post.

For the first short workout, I’d been meaning to spend more "quality time" with a pair of 20kg kettlebells, so the workout is essentially centered around them. I find that getting in a fair amount of reps of standard presses with a 20kg kettlebell seems to really help my 24kg press and beyond. I need to get back into pressing the 28kg to be honest… I haven’t tried in a while but I’m sure it’s still fairly close if it isn’t already there at least for one on a good day.

So, after a joint mobility warmup (very similar to the one included in my little eBook of random workouts I led in NYC last year) I continued the warm up with a bodyweight get-up on each side immediately followed with a single 20kg kettlebell get-up on each side. Get-ups are not only awesome to include in workouts, but I like to add a couple as part of a warm-up to "get everything working together" for lack of a better term.

Once again, I wrote a workout for an intermediate client, then felt the need to write a version of it specific to my own needs. I’ll present both of them to you here. I can’t get over how much fun it is to train outside with kettlebells and rocks.* While I ended up doing my version of the workout indoors (it’s been getting dark so early… and it’s easy to lose the kettlebells on the ground out there and create tripping hazards), this particular client was lucky enough to be able to schedule the session during the few hours of daytime that work for both of us.  You’ll see that we’re working on different things as expected.
