Today's challenge -
For women used to working with kettlebells use 1 pood (16kg). For women new to this start where you feel comfortable (lighter for the windmills - 6-8kg, heavier for swings 10-12kg). This should not be as easy as this demo.
KB should be fairly heavy in the swings. Exercises like this give you the benefit of working your core while engaging the muscle targeted (ie. legs, glute, low back for swings, and a bit more arm and obliques for windmill). To keep your heart rate raised and increase fat burning do this at a consistent pace with little rest. This may mean you need to go lighter, however keeping your workouts at a lower intensity for a consistent duration is necessary to keep your body moving on those days when you just feel like you'd rather take the day off.

Why do they call it pood?
ReplyDeleteA pood is a russian unit of measurement that is now extinct. It is named the pood because it was created by the Russian Military and was a staple of the Russian strength and power training. I'm not sure what the word "pood" actually means, but most likely it is some sort of russian word...
