In preparation for the 1000 continous swings w/16kg challenge, I'm making my class train alongside, as I hope we'll all be able to do it together!
2nd block of work sets w/12kg & 14kg
5 minutes of roundabouts w/12kg = 200 swings
1 min. rest
5 minutes of roundabouts w/14kg = 200 swings
1 min. rest
3 minutes 5/5 (1 hd sw) w/12kg = 120 swings
1 min. rest
3 minutes 5/5 (1 hd sw) w/14kg = 120 swings
1 min. rest
20 minutes work = 640 swings
total so far.....38 minutes = 1120 swings
now for a few snatches...oh, and a few more swings
1 sw, 1 sn, 1 tr x 12 = 1 min. / 30 sec rest (this a moderate pace)
1 sw, 1 sn, 1 tr x 14 = 1 min. / 30 sec rest (same combination, but a bit faster)
1 sw, 1 sn, 1 tr x 16 = 1 min. / 30 sec rest (same combination, but as fast as you can go)
These three sets were done in an uphill pacing ladder with rest inbetween sets. The last set was a 3 minute set, combining all three, done in opposite order (downhill pacing ladder).
1 sw, 1 sn, 1 tr x 16 = 1 min. (same combination, but as fast as you can go)
1 sw, 1 sn, 1 tr x 14 = 1 min. (same combination, but a bit slower)
1 sw, 1 sn, 1 tr x 12 = 1 min. (slowing down again to this moderate pace)

ReplyDeletesweetie,
ReplyDeleteall anyone has to do is to show up on a regular basis! After feeling like I got my ass handed to me this past weekend, I have much more to work on....and that's OK!
what separates the best from the rest is the willingness to work what's weak and put it all on the line for real.
ReplyDeletethose who are constantly searching to be better and are not satisfied are the ones who make progress.
but enjoy your sucesses as well as plan for your future conquests.
I am so proud of you :))
"PS If anyone actually reads this and cares, I'd be amazed!"
ReplyDeleteI swear I care! I just wish I didn't have to like read it over and over and over to "get it"! You have great ideas and train amazingly-why the hell else would I have picked you for my RKC coach?
My biggest "success" was failing that HKC-it made me such a beast to want the RKC!!
Thank God we're old enough to reallize that it takes a couple of failures to finally reach ultimate success!
Even without all this kb crap, I was still successful for the person I was, kb's just brought "me" out stronger than ever!
OK, this is going too long.....
I read it!! and I care! It wears me out and like Diana said, I have to read it over a few times to take it all in :)
ReplyDeleteYou're the best!
P.S., That's soooo kewl that you're teaching at Lululemon! Are they paying you in clothes?? (the things that dreams are made of!)
ReplyDeleteDiana,
ReplyDeleteJust when i was full of my own bullshit, I took the Level 2!
No worries though, I'll be able to coach you through Level 2....I'm a better person, a better trainer, a better athlete. And in addition to all of that? I'm humbled.
Thank you so much for your suppor, trust and, belief in me.
Jen,
ReplyDeleteOMG! You should see all of the free stuff I got! OK, I'll teach a few gals to swing, and in return? More Lulu! OK....twist my arm, lol!
PS I'm stealing "kewl" that's so "kewl"....can I be like you when I grow up?
I LUUUVVV reading all of your posts!! You are such an inspiration. I share your kettlebell story with so many women! Hey, what are "roundabouts?" AND when is that DVD coming out??
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
ReplyDeleteFunny you should ask....
The roundabout is in my DVD, which should be available by the end of the month.
But in the mean time, if you google "tracy roundabout" the first link will be my blogpost about it, or just copy the link below.

I was reading this intently and the last line made me laugh. I love reading about your workouts.
ReplyDeleteI've commented before about my obsession with Lululemon. How awesome that you're teaching there and you get free stuff? Sweet!
I am anxiously awaiting your DVD. I know it will be fab.
Beth,
ReplyDeleteOnce my video is released I can start to post more of my workouts because the DVD contains a couple of my training techniques and methods that I have not written about before.
As I've mentioned a few times, I'm a long story teller, and since I won't be explaining so much I can write about the nitty gritty....hey, maybe those will be the names of my next two adopted kitties....nitty and gritty, lol
And FREE Lululemon! Yesterday I got the new dress/skirt/top in purple and green....FAB!
I care, I care, and that is why I read......you are an inspriation to many.
ReplyDeleteI love trying to follow your workout, but it is way beyond me for the time being. I will get there, if I keep up the determination. Struggling is part of getting better and being human.
Ps, I wish I lived in California

Of course I read to the end (just not always promptly). I have to know how the workout ends so that someday, maybe when I'm bored, I'll do it myself.
ReplyDeleteUnlikely but thanks for posting it anyway.
