Almost all kettlebell exercises: many of them ‘new’ to the Pax.
Yep. I pulled an Eminem and went to the internet looking for Kettlebell exercises. I felt like my routine had gotten a bit stale. So I came up with the following. Not everything was new. Almost all worked. The worst was the Partial (Turkish) Get up. I could only do 5 each side. And I needed to forget doing cadence. OYO for everything is the way to go. We generally did 15 of these.
The good news, is I found a link that I have saved that has 65 KB exercises. So there’s more where this came from. If you don’t like it, keep me off the sign-up list. 😊
After each ‘group’ of these, we ran about a ¼ mile in total, out and back.
