Workout of the Week 3/17/19
Happy Saint Patty's Day!! I would recommend you do this Workout of the Week before you start drinking or even wait until later this week! I would hate for you to throw up all your alcohol!
Normally I am not one to really celebrate St. Patrick's Day besides wearing green. I am not Irish and I don't really drink a lot. But the main reason is that my birthday is on the 20th and I feel like that is more important, to me anyways.
But since it falls directly on a day that I share my Workout of the Week I decided I would at least honor it. You will need a Kettle-bell and some space.
Movements
There are only two movements so this should be pretty simple.
For The kettle-bell swings You should start with the kettle-bell in between your legs almost directly under you. Squat down to the power position, and then using your legs and hips swing the kettle-bell up until its directly overhead. If you have a shoulder problem then bring it to eye level.
Next our burpees, one of our favorite cardio movements. For this you will start in a standing position, the bring your hands down to the ground as you jump your feet backwards. This will put you in the plank position, from here do a push-up chest touches the ground and then jump your feet back up to your hands and stand all the way up. As you do this jump with your hands over your head. That is one rep.
Workout of the Week
3 Rounds for Time
- 17 KB Swings
- 19 Burpees
For Scaling options, first start with a lower weight. If going overhead with the kettle-bell is an issue just swing to eye level. For the burpees you can scale by not doing the push-up or doing to a box instead of going all the way to ground.
