The plan is to go through Pavel’s Enter the Kettlebell program, with the assistance of Anthony DiLuglio’s ETK workbook. Four weeks of the “Program Minimum”, then the 8 week “Right of Passage”. The rough plan is to do this program Monday, Tuesday, Thursday & Friday. Saturday will be for cycling and getting base miles, either indoor or out. Depending on the workout intensity on any given day, I hope to supplement with some cycling intervals, like perhaps some Tabata intervals. I also have the option to go to a group Kettlebell class once a week in order to have someone kick my ass in person, rather than through the pages of a book. That would also be my opportunity to work on form, and learning new exercises. Here we go:

Warmup:

Workout:

Workout	Target	Completed
Swings 20 kg	20 x		18
Plyo Jumps – 1 step	1 min
Swings 20 kg	20 x		12
Plank	1 min
Swings 20 kg	20 x
Jog	1 min
Swings 20 kg	20 x
Mountain Climbers	1 min

Recap: I felt pretty good tonight, although the body weight exercises (jumps, the yoga pumps, and planks) are kicking my ass (for obvious reasons, which is why I’m working out in the first place, right?). I made it through six cycles after the warmup in the allotted 12 minutes.
