This past weekend was hot and humid…just the way I like it!
I think I mentioned that I was taking it easy as far as lifting heavy last week. I took a bit of extra rest time, went for walks and did a few light strength training workouts instead.
Saturday CJ and I went for a 4 mile run/walk in the morning. It was hot hot hot even early in the day!
Later we went to the great little beach town/city of Newburyport, MA (where I was born). We had a really nice time walking around and grabbing some food.
Sunday is when I usually take a rest day, but this week I hit up the track for a seriously sweaty kettlebell track workout that went something like this:
Warmup
- A bit of mobility work
- 3 light TGU’s L/R
- Jog 1 lap around the track slow (1/4 mile)
- Goblet rack carry 100m (straight part of the track)
- Lunges 50m and jog 50m back to where you started
- Walk 100m back to the kettlebell
…repeat in the other direction - Jog around the track
- Suitcase carry 100m
- Jog around the track back to the kettlebell
….repeat in the other direction with the other hand!
- Goblet Rack Carry 100m
- Jog around the track back to the kettlebell
….repeat in the other direction!
- 90 swings (for 90 degrees) however you want! I did 3 sets of 20 and 2 sets of 15.
Don’t worry…I still got that rest day in. I took yesterday off from working out besides a little walk with my guy.
I posted this on facebook yesterday so some of you may have seen it, but honestly my child has some serious moves so I had to share it again.
REGULATORS!! MOUNT UP!!
And your little one is SO CUTE!!!
Dude, that’s a TOUGH workout! good on you! The video isn’t working here! I’ll have to check it out on Facebook 😉
It was a tough workout…didn’t do anything super fast or crazy, but since it was so hot out I was sweating like crazy!
Love this! I’ve been incorporating carries and static holds into my workouts a lot. This one sounds a lot like what I do at our wellness center (Plan X)–alternating track circuits of racked/farmers/overhead carries with rounds of Engum’s Deep Six RKC prep workout. Lots of sweat, for sure! Or like my neighborhood workout, when I take Ivan and Stefan for their morning walk . . .
Sounds like you do some great workouts!
