The devils workout

 I’ve dabbled in cross fit and kettle bell training. I’ve gone through periods of being obsessed with both, but due to my love of long runs and heavy lifting I don’t do it exclusively.

Kettlebell and kettle ball training use the entire body for virtually every movement pattern, enhancing strength, balance, and hand-eye coordination. Kettlebells and kettleballs also strengthen the body’s seat of power, the hips, and with a well-developed hip drive, athletes can improve any skill that requires power, such as running or jumping. Besides developing strength and power, kettlebells also add intensity to cardio workouts.

The following is a workout I usually do twice a week. Once by it’s self, and the other time following a 4-5 mile run. The point of this workout is to NEVER set the kettle bell down. There is Four circuits.  Each circuit has 2 exercises, meant to be preformed for alternating 30 second intervals.

50 alternating kettle bell swings ( single arm, switch hands at highest point)

25 single arm kettle bell swings
