I've been doing your beginner swing workout, and the one hand swing ladder--those are so great, and I'm kind of amazed at how quickly I've built strength and improved my stamina with just those two workouts. If any other KB newbies are reading, look those two up! <br /><br />I hope you'll come teach a workshop in Scotland sometime, Tracy!Tuesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002580573873532439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-46081874705825711142012-09-22T15:16:28.480-07:002012-09-22T15:16:28.480-07:00Carrie,

But this is my blog, and this is what I do.<br /><br />I can't "teach" the world proper form and skill, I can only share how I train and what I'm motivated to do/learn.<br /><br />What are you motivated to do/learn? You and everybody else will find your/their way! I trust you!Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-16824734777577097422012-09-22T15:13:15.809-07:002012-09-22T15:13:15.809-07:00Thee Tuesday,
Let's see...I've been train...Thee Tuesday,<br /><br />Let's see...I've been training consistently for over 6 years...should you expect to be able to keep up with me? Hmmnn...<br /><br />Your first goal is to train consistently 15-30 minutes at any pace, with any bell for 6 months to 1 year.<br /><br />As you find your skill and conditioning improving you will find your own pace, your own limitations, your own strength. <br /><br />The workouts I post are just ideas and hopefully inspiration of what is possible. Lots of time, less self motivated people, unlike myself will find training to get stagnant, and my workouts are intended to cheer everybody, on many levels to just keep "sowing up" and doing the work!<br /><br />But an easy answer to your question is that if you are wanting to train in a similar way as I do, then completing the same pace is the first goal, with whatever weight you can keep up with. And then increasing the weight. Pace first, weight second.<br /><br />I blog many workouts that have a variety of "set lengths". For instance, 10 reps sets, versus 40 reps, 100 reps etc. I always, always remind viewers to "take the rest YOU need". There is no "finish line. there is no "ideal". At the end of the day there is just you!<br /><br />Enjoy!Tracy Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07868257020358013257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-74980913661551621242012-09-21T09:34:32.152-07:002012-09-21T09:34:32.152-07:00Thanks so much for these KILLER workouts, Tracy! ...Thanks so much for these KILLER workouts, Tracy! They are really tough. I am somewhat new to KBs...have been training with them for about two months now. I only have a 12kg bell, and I managed to keep up with you for one full round of the swing/clean/sq workout, but then found I needed to work at my own pace due to needing a bit more rest in order to recover so I could go on. My question is should I be concerned with doing the same number of reps as you and taking more time to do the workout, or should I be doing less reps and staying with your set timings? OR is the answer that I should do all this with a lighter bell and keep up with both? :) Thanks in advance for any advice....Tuesdayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00002580573873532439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1813295658825716967.post-39218406829430011342012-09-19T18:42:27.445-07:002012-09-19T18:42:27.445-07:00I like the idea of squat/swing combo.

I, do, will avoid them like the plague but have promised myself that as your hubby once said; "one must train their weaknesses"....<br /><br />Today, I also did a swing squat workout. Feel free to give it a try, it's short and sweet!<br /><br />http://dianasblog-becomingawayfinder.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-kettlebell-workoutlucy-and-ethel.html<br /><br />Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677754284276322596noreply@blogger.com
