Kettlebell Magic

I trained today using kettlebells and chose to wear a heart rate monitor to see how my heart rate responded and also to get a rough idea of calorie expenditure.

The session went as follows:-

Kettlebell Swings 16kg * 25 * 2 sets
Kettlebell Snatch 16kg * 25/25 * 1 set

Double Kettlebell Clean and Jerks 16kg * 2
15
15
15

Double Kettlebell Snatch 16kg * 2
10 reps on the minute for 3 minutes
Repeated 3 times

Kettlebell Swing 20kg
25
25

25

Kettlebell 2 Handed Anyhow
16kg * 2 for 3 reps each side * 3 sets

Kettlebell Windmill
24kg * 5 each side
24kg * 5 each side
28kg * 5 each side

The whole session took 60 mins at a fairy easy pace.

Total time spent working was 25 minutes, the rest was resting.
Average heart rate was 140 with a maximum of 175 BPM during the double snatches.

Approximate calorie expenditure was 650kcal - not bad for 25 minutes effort!

Its all about the EPOC ladies and gentlemen (that's Excess Post Exercise Oxygen Consumption).

Great workout and very enjoyable.
