Fitness Challenge: Week 1. Again.

Last week I posted week 1 of the fitness challenge before realizing that most of you probably hadn’t had enough time to gather your equipment.

So hopefully now everyone has a jumprope and a kettle bell (or non-slippery dumbell). Maybe you’ve even gotten around to watching the videos on how to properly swing a kettlebell and wishful thinking says you’ve practiced. Somehow my jumprope order didn’t get processed correctly so I get to re-order mine again today. I’m not sure how that happened, probably all the tears blocking my vision from re-homing our pups. I didn’t

Here is the new and improved Week 1 Challenge:

Warm-up before each workout:

• 50 jump-ropes
• 20 air squats
• 20 sit-ups
• 20 walking lunges

Day 1:

Do as many kettle-bell swings as you can without stopping. As soon as you have to break you’re done. Write this # down somewhere!!!

Day 2:

Many thanks to Dane for the inspiration. I’m sure you’ll love it as much as I did.

Set a timer for 10 minutes. Do as many rounds as possible in the 10 minutes. You can NOT put the kettle bell down during a round, if you do put it down the round doesn’t count and you’ll have to start all over. You can rest between rounds. Keep track of how many rounds you did.

• 8 Kettle bell swings. 
• 10 Goblet squats.

Optional Day 3:

• Do as many kettle bell swings as you can without stopping.
• Once you stop take a minute to breathe.
• Do 4 more kettle bell swings. Rest between swings if you need to. =)
