Saturday 30/6/12

Think there must have been something going on this morning that Charlotte and I missed as it was just the two of us!!!!
Still didn't stop us from having a good workout.

Thursday 28/6/12

Hot night suddenly turned into a windy chilly one but we stayed outside to make the most of a dry evening. Tabata was back with a few different exercises combining kettlebells and bodyweight.
Welcome also to Sophie to her first KBC.

Monday 25/6/12

Various clean position work tonight followed by breathing technique for the clean then the jerk. Continued with 3 minutes of long cycle clean and jerk with three minutes rest - 3 sets. Focus was on breathing technique and pacing. Finished with 2 minutes of racked position hold.
Also welcome to Simon to his first KBC session.

Saturday 23/6/12

Bit of a mix today including some interval sprints followed by a get-up routine designed to work on shoulder stability and endurance. Finished with five minutes of max reps get-ups, minimum of three get-ups before changing hands.

Thursday 21/6/12

Every set tonight you loose a minute. 6 exercises starting with 6 minutes. Working in pairs with one working while the other rests.

Tom, Charlotte and Annie started their specific long cycle training for the comp in August but this is top secret! ;-)

Welcome also to Helen to her first KBC session.

Monday 18/6/12

The KBC assault course is back! Kettlebell exercises focusing on snatch/grip work with agility, ab and chest work thrown in for fun! 20 minutes to do as many laps as possible.

Saturday 16/6/12

Annie was optimistic with the weather this morning so started the workout outside. Unfortunately we finished it inside! Double kettlebell work in pairs with one working while the other rests. On paper it looks pretty easy but gets you winded quickly.
Welcome also to Nicola to her first KBC session.

Thursday 14/6/12

This one may become a KBC benchmark workout. What do you think?

Congratulations again to all that passed their gradings. Great to present so many t-shirts with the new colour and sleeve design.
There are still plenty more to present too!
