Hi All – Happy Workout Wednesday!
I mentioned in my birthday eats (and treats!) post that I got a kettlebell for my birthday. Technically, it was a gift to myself, but hey, a girl can spoil herself every now and again. Now that I am without a gym membership, I’m getting more and more pumped (pun!) about building my “home gym.” I don’t have room for big, bulky equipment, but I’ve learned you don’t need much at all for an efficient workout.
Yesterday, I did a full-body kettlebell and dumbbell workout in the comfort of my modest living room after a slow 2-mile warm-up run.
What You’ll Need
- 1 kettlebell, 15-30lb.
- 1 set of dumbbells, 8-12lb.
- 1 yoga mat
- music of your choice
Note: Before starting, do 5-10 minutes of light cardio to warm-up. The workout should take ~25-30 minutes to complete if you move quickly from one set to the next.
Exercises
If you have any questions about any of the exercise moves, please ask and I’ll do my best to answer. I suppose I’ll have to create my own Speed Skater with High Pull tutorial, as I couldn’t find an adequate example.
