I'll be starting the "Simple Strength for Difficult Times" (Program 1) next week. I am very fortunate to have a well-equipped home gym with kettlebells, barbells and plates, ropes, rowing machine etc. and have been training primarily with barbells for approx. 8 months. As the restrictions in my community and state are easing up, I would like to simplify my training to have more time outdoors this summer. My husband and I recently acquired fat tire bikes and riding through the Oregon sand dunes is nothing short of a complete blast. I would also like to be the example to my community that with a very limited amount of equipment one can complete a very successful strength program.
For strength training I'll be using 2 16 kg. kettlebells and a pull-up bar. My exercises of choice are the double kettlebell front squat, the single kettlebell military press and chin-ups. On alternating days I'll do timeless S&S swings with 24-32 kg and either Turkish get-ups or bent press. My job is sedentary so I aim to get in at least 3 10-minute walks per day and spend a few minutes on the Assault bike for warm-up or a quick wake-up when I get home from work.
I'll use this log to record my progress.
