denise austin and kettlebell mix morning

i just re-acquired get fit fast from denise austin. i wanted some short simple workouts for add ons. i started with the buns/legs level 1. it had plenty of squats and lunges which warm up muscle but also the joints with the bending and flexing. i added in some of my own arm work too so my shoulders and wrists were warmed up for kettlebells.

kettlebells i went simple and quick. it was 30 secs of work with 15 seconds rest before moving on to the next exercise. i did 3 rnd with no rest between rounds. by 3rd round i was slowing down but as long as i kept form i kept going. taking an extra breathe between reps is no shame.

swings
snatch R
snatch L
swings
cleans R
cleans L

afterward did one set of ab work with the bell

TGU 2 each side
russian twists 20
roll ups 10

after that i went back to denise and did level 1 abs. it was easy but i didn't want anything to tough after the bell work. snatches and cleans add in plenty of core work just wanted something to add a little more to the workout. plus some of the roll up work and saw work helped stretch hams and back a bit.

have laundry to do today. UGH but i guess dh can have a rest.
