Hostyle Conditioning - Class - Bootcamp with some Kettle Bell action

I didn't have any blogs for the last couple days as I went to a hockey game yesterday, and family time on Tuesday.... Back at it tonight though!

Tonight's workout was a nice mix of a lot of different things.

First round of action was ...

Kettle Bell and Squats

Swings
Upright rows
Body weight squats

30 seconds of each, 1 minute break after each rounds

I used the 24kg kettle bell for these moves.
We did 4 rounds, each one getting more difficult, 12 oclock swings, 1 arm swings, different moves for squats (prisoner, hands up, to the side), etc...

We also had to do doubles in the last 2 rounds!

Next section was some more arm punishment, as if we didn't already have enough!

Pushups
Horizontal rows!

30 seconds of each, 30 seconds rest

We did a few rounds

Finished with the Prowler!

Only did 3 rounds of 2 laps... Barely weighted, only 50lb on it. Still one heck of a kick to the balls though....

Dead and finished, great workout as usual!

Nice standard pace.

Tonight is Kettle Bell fun again!

Hostyle conditioning - one on one

This morning I was partaking in my usual one on one with hostyle conditioning, I was tired.

I did my kettle bell class last night, and my workout this morning was focused on arms again, it was certainly a challenge...

Here is what I did this morning..

5 rounds

Hanging clean and press for 6 with 65 lb Olympic bar

Bent over rows with same bar for 12

8 sprawls (my version of burpees)

No breaks for this section

1 minute break

5 rounds of 10 reps of bench presses with the 65 lb bar

1 minute break

Finish with 100 ball slams with the 10kg medicine ball

Finished all in 22 minutes... Great workout.

Shoulder and wrists are feeling rough lately... Will power through that though.

Hostyle Conditioning - Class - Kettle Bell

Tonight we did our Kettle Bell class, it was a nice workout to start the week...

We had a great turnout, there were 9 of us in the class!

I worked with the 24kg and the 16kg Bell, depending on the move.

Here is what we did

WOD

Swings
Around the body
Figure 8's with a twist, this time we went through the legs and then swung it up high and slapped it into our opposite hand!
Halo's

We worked the 4 moves by themselves for singles and doubles...
We then did some complexes

We then moved into squats for 5 rounds of 30 on 30 off

I weighted the squats with 16kg Bell for 2 rounds
then 65lb Olympic bar, in front of chest and behind neck for 2 rounds
Finished with the 80lb firehose on my shoulders!

Finished with some foam roller action on the lower body...

Great workout

Tomorrow morning is the one on one with Curd!

Powerwalk - Bonus one

I was going to do my one on one this morning, however, it was cancelled and I decided to do a power walk...why not!? I was dressed for it! :)

It was a nice crisp fall morning again, about 11 degrees.

I walked 2.11km in 23:06...

Kettle Bell class tonight since I didn't have my one on one this morning.

Hostyle conditioning Class - more rowing to nowhere...

Killer morning at the hostyle conditoning class.... Was tired but glad I went as usual.

Today was a feast for the card senses

5 rounds no breaks!

500m on the rower
20 squats
20 push ups

For the squats, I was weighted for most of the rounds, except for the frost one. Weight ranged from 8kg kettle bell all the way up to an 80 lb sandbag!

Finished the workout in about 30 minutes. Was pretty much toast, but felt good.

Powerwalk

Nice fall morning for my power walk. Around 11 degrees, and cloudy... Leaves on the ground etc, etc...

Steady pace today, nothing to write home about, but still average. Nice thing about today is that my legs felt perfect. Shins are completely healed. I am sure the mobility training and foam roller work is helping.

2.39km in 26:50

No strength training tonight, bootcamp tomorrow.
