I was having trouble deciding whether I should hike the ridge or the stairs @Runyon (ridge much harder!) with the 16 kg kettlebells. I eventually decided to hike the stairs but to also stop at fixed intervals on my way down to do some standard Russian Kettlebell exercises I am trying to get good at. I hiked to the top of the stairs for my first interval. Every 200 steps I did another interval. Here's what I did at about every 200 paces on my way down the hill.
1) 5 2-handed swings, 5 1-arm swings, 5 1-arm high swings and 5 snatches each side
2) repeated #1!
3) 30 2-handed swings
4) repeated #3
5) 25 goblet squats.
Finished up at the base of the fire-road with 25 goblet squats. I meant to do another 25 squats at the gate but honestly I was feeling dizzy, faint and naseous lol. The entire workout took about an hour and 5 minutes so I satsifed some of my endurance work quota as well as getting in some solid strength work with the kettlebells.
Great training at Bootcamp today too! I like my new routine. As usual I will tweak it during the first few days but so far so good. We're doing a little more upper-body work this week since the past 2 weeks were so leg heavy. Still a good full-body workout!
