Workout Redux

[luckycanuck]

Monday: At the old gym which is older and less showy (and has more kettlebells): 5 farmer's walk flights of stairs with 24kg in each hand, 50 kettlebell swings, 50 situps, 4 flights, 40, 40, 3, 30, 30, 2, 20, 20, 1, 10, 10.  Then 100 chest contractions.

YW: 1,000 pushups.  Yes, 1,000.  I thought it was a nice round number and I had seen a few workouts that dealt with large numbers of pushups to be broken up into whatever sets are most convenient.  The format was maximum pushups in 1 minute, then 1 minute of rest, continued until 1,000 pushups had been done.  My total time was 36:20.  That's an average of 54 pushups per minute during the working minutes.

I am quite sore in the chest and shoulders and triceps today.

Today: I haven't decided yet.  Maybe burpees or sit ups (or both.)  It will probably be done at home as I am planning to go to church for Ash Wednesday.

I'm pretty much positive every time I use a kettlebell that I will lose control of it and kill someone.

I like kettlebells. They are now catching on in Australia and I am finding more and more things to do with them.
