It's Winter, So Yeah it's Cold!

Another chilly Winter day. But hey, it's wintertime! It's supposed to be like this! 

The sun was shining. It was a really pretty day outside. The air is crackly. The only downside is my skin and hair are so dry! 

This was the view Sunday from our driveway. We got a sunny snowshower of sparkly fresh snow. How lovely is that!

Today I did my usual morning "Skype-walk" with a friend. We walked for 40 minutes at a rate of 3.5 mph. It's fun. I put some music on from a playlist I made and we walk. She can hear the music through the speakers on my laptop. It works out quite nicely.

Then this afternoon, I grabbed the kettlebells for a quick 30 minute session before I had to pick my daughter up at the bus.

I decided to do some ladders for fun today using all of my kettlebells (except the 8kg).

Total swings: 450

*I used the 12kg, 16kg, 18kg going up a weight each set and then back down.

20 sets of 10reps for 200 swings. I set the Gymboss to 15/15 for this. 10 swings every 15 seconds/rest 15 seconds.

*Next, I used the 24kg, 18kg, 16kg and the 12kg(I only used 12kg for one set here.)
10 sets of 10reps for 100 swings. 
Gymboss was set 15/15 equal rest to equal work.

*Finally, 24kg, 18kg, 16kg
30 sets of 5 reps every 10 seconds = 150 swings. 
Equal work to equal rest 10/10. Again - going up a weight each set and then back down.

Sorry my rundown is such a mess. I'll get better at writing my training log.

Not a high swing day but I haven't played with the 24kg in a while so this was plenty for me today. Felt good though! Ladders are a lot of fun and it is amazing how LIGHT the 18kg and 16kg feel after swinging the 24! :)

I do need to order a 20kg though. I think that will be next after my new 8kg with the normal handle and not that darn triangle shaped handle! NOT fun for snatches. Hmmm...perhaps I'll put the 20kg on my birthday list.

Have a great night!
