WOW (Workout Of the Week): Jump Rope and Kettlebell Swings
Who: You and a fit friend. Or you and yo’ momma. In this case, me and my client Aysha.
What: Jumping rope and Kettlebell swings. 30 seconds on each exercise. Complete 10 rounds without a break. (Grabbing a quick swig of water or retying your shoe is permitted.)
When: 2x a week
Why: Because you always do the same thing.
Where: Anywhere. This workout travels well.
Equipment: A jumprope and a kettlebell (or dumbbell). Weight should be at least 20lbs.
Goal: Max repetitions. Keep a mental count and try to get the same number of reps each time.
Results: Exceptional cardiovascular conditioning. And even better training for your calves, quads, hamstrings, and that too often neglected booty.
Tell me how it goes. I personally found the jump rope to be most taxing beneficial.
Question: I don’t have a kettleball, dumbell, or friends, what should I do?
Hahaha!!! So ironic, a friend of mine tried to convince me to do kettlebell training this weekend. See first line of my post to determine my response.
Also, I’m still laughing at slomo’s comment. I’m going to use that excuse too =} Though I do realize excuses don’t produce the amazing mus-cles you both have. But they do produce laughing, which if used properly can be considered abdominal strengthening, right?
You guys rock big time.
