Tracy's "15min routine"

Playing around with swings and my new flip camera. (no vid in this post, sorry)
So I did her "15 min swing workout" from her new DVD, which is good stuff btw.

I did appx 262 swings during her "15min routine" (actually 11min 15sec), but the first time around I used a 16kg, mostly to try and match her 10rep/15 sec pace.

After reviewing my swings I was horrified. I had a slight arc in my back. Nothing that hurt, but clear as day on the video. So then I rewound the disc and tried it again, making a point to get a better arc in my spine.
Didnt work. Up to 525 swings now...

Rewound DVD and grabbed the 24kg and did about 40 more swings.
Better, but not what I wanted.
Rewound it again (by now I am only doing 40 or 50 swings per rewind doing half w/ 16kg and half w/ 24kg)

I have no idea how many swings I did today, but in the neighborhood of 800 swings seems a good stab....

Some things I need to fix/be aware of:
  • I must really make a point of arching back when I am down low, about to start swinging. Make sure I have an anterior tilt on pelvis.
  • Keep eyes on horizon, lift head a little at the bottom. I was really looking too far down.) 
  • Pull up the kneecaps. I noticed that once I forgot to do that, my glutes stopped firing as hard.
  • Practice AP thoracic glides from Z-health
  • Practice 'Chickens' from Z-health
  • Practice more swings...
