First Post
So this is the routine I’ve been following for the past couple of months. It seems to be going okay, but I thought I’d post here to see if anyone had any suggestions on how I could improve it. It’s a mix of kettlebell stuff and bodyweight exercises. It's basically built around having a workout that’s good for general strength and conditioning and that I can do at home. I’m 30 years old, 70kg, 185cm if that’s important.
At the moment it looks like this:
workout A:
-2x15 two hand swings with 16kg bell (warmup)
-3 sets of pushups, adding 1 rep to the total number of reps each workout (so last time it was 15,15,15, next time it’ll be 16,15,15, then 16,16,15, etc.)
-3 sets of presses with 16kg kettlebell, adding 1 rep each time as for pushups (did 13,13,12 at last workout)
tabata two hand swings with 16kg kettlebell
workout B:
-2x15 two hand swings with 16kg bell (warmup)
-3 sets of chinups, adding 1 rep each time as for pushups (did 10,9,9 at last workout)
-tabata two hand swings with 16kg kettlebell
I do one day on, one day off, so the whole cycle lasts four days.
And yes, I only have a 16kg kettlebell at the moment. A heavier one is definitely on my list of things I need to buy, I’m not sure whether to get a 20kg or just go straight for a 24kg though.
Any thoughts? Anything important that I’m missing or that I need to change?
