Today, I worked out in my home office. It’s nice to be able to get a great workout with minimal equipment. All I had was two kettlebells and about 40 square feet. Here’s what I did:
As many reps as possible in 15 minutes: Turkish Get-Ups with a 40# KB.
A Turkish Get-Up involves a movement from laying flat on your back to standing up all while holding the bell in a locked out position directly above your head. It sounds scary, but it’s not too bad. But it is challenging…especially for the core. But I tend to also feel the fatigue in the shoulders and the upper legs (i.e., glutes and quads). If you push yourself – while maintaining good form – it demands stamina and strength. It’s a fantastic exercise. You’re probably getting tired of hearing me say that, but I try to only do fantastic exercises. 🙂
After the TGU’s, I finished by doing…
53#KB Snatches, left and right, in rounds of 10 reps, then 9, then 8 all the way down to 1 as quickly as possible. That was a great finisher.
