Training Progress one week

AddthisShare   FeedRSS feed  

Well, after one week of Kettlebell training mixed with some cardio I am feeling good. Some early bruising to my bideps and the tops of my wrists early on was a slight set back. The weather over here in Perth, Australia has been in the high 30 low 40 degrees celcius for the past week so the kettlebells have been hard to control during the jerks and snatches, hence the sore arms.

I have been amazed at how much of a workout these things give the body. After a heavy work out the other day (about 38C outside) I managed to cramp in the glute. WOW, it felt as though someone was stabbing my butt with a knife.

I am concentrating on gaining good form and increasing strength prior to moving onto some of the more technical and dangerous skills of the sport. Thus far, I have been using three to four different workouts followed by some light to mid cardio either running or riding and have noticed in my figures that my strength and conditioning is already starting to improve.

30-40 C :). I gave up going to the gym yesterday. First snow of the year in form of a blizzard drained all my motivation. We both seem to have problem with the temperature but at different ends of the scale ;)

Yeah, I think that I would prefer the heat to the blizzard there Rex. It is good for sweating it out anyway, especially after all the Xmas feasting.
