Insnaity Plyometric Cardio

did Plyo w/ the missus today.
She enjoyed it, so hopefully we'll keep this tradition going.

I will still focus on kettlebell strength routines in preparation for my HKC cert in January.

Violent flu and my the future plans.

Finally recovered from a nasty stomach bug that was probably floating around the airport.

I just changed my HKC cert to one in January w/ my Fav RKC, Keira Newton.
Originally I was going to do an April HKC cert. As such I am dropping the Insanity Cardio Program so that my kettlebell form and conditioning is in place for the cert.

On deck for the next 2 months?
  • High Volume Swings
  • Turkish Get-Ups
  • Goblet Squats
  • VO2Max Snatch Conditioning

Great stuff.

Insanity Cardio Recovery

Nice mellow workout, as it was intended.

Feels good to stretch. Will work in some Kettlebell work at lunch time.

Insanity Plyometric Cardio

Doing good. I think my Max HR is dropping. I had to really crank to get 165bpm. Where as a week and a half ago, I was hitting 170-175 easy.

Sore as hell, as you might expect.

My form is getting better - I'm not tweaking my low back while rising up from squats.
