variety cardio

We are about to begin the 12-Week Spring Swing program. So, I thought some variety was in order today.

We started with 1-leg Deadlifts with very light weights (sets of 3 reps ES) and proceeded to heavy sumo-style deadlifts (sets of 5 reps).

The cardio routine was:

5 reps 1-Hand KB Swing Left Side
5 reps 1-Hand KB Swing Right Side
5 reps KB Curl
1 rep ES Up & Down

5 reps ES Clean & Press
5 reps ES KB Rows
1 rep ES Up & Down

5 reps ES Snatch
5 reps Each way Halo
1 rep ES Up & Down

We did 4 sets of this without rest. I used a 35lb KB but it was too light for much cardio.

We finished with some ab work - plank on a swiss ball. Cool!

Pushups & Squats

Last night: TKD class at 7:00 p.m.

This morning: 6:00 a.m. Kettlebell class. Lots of Z-Health work on heels, ankles, shoulders & necks. Working hard to improve squatting and lunging movement patterns.

Finished with 1-arm pushups, bodyweight rows, and a couple of sets of snatches.

Tae Kwon Do + Z-Health

Yesterday I worked on a combination of Tae Kwon Do and Z-Health. I would practice TKD techniques or forms for about 5 minutes and then do Z-Health movements for recovery. Excellent combination.

This morning: 6:05 kettlebell class

Light workout with swings, pushups, bodyweight rows. Finished with some quality time on the ab-wheel.
