Morning workout

I decided to restart the kettlebell basics with the 24kg bell. I never
really did the Program Minimum properly, and I think my skill suffered for
it. The only minor change I made was DARC swings instead of regular ones.

I did the five minutes of get-ups without too much trouble, although my
right side is definitely weaker than my left. I've had that issue for
awhile. If anything will fix it, this will. It was the twelve minutes of
swings that killed me. I think I need a proper interval timer to make sure I
don't spend too long resting. It's easy to lose track of time without
something objective in front of you. Time swinging always feels longer than
time resting.

Stretching tonight, while watching old Star Trek episodes. Tomorrow: bodyweight drills

Training Log

First workout since I had my little operation. I didn't think I'd lose so much conditioning in a week. I did two or three intervals of DARC swings (like regular one-arm swings, but you switch hands at the top of each swing) and it fried me.

This was also the first time I've trained outside with my kettlebell. I don't think I can go back. I'll have to figure out some frostbite-safe way to train outside in winter with iron. You can go to a much higher intensity because property damage isn't a worry. I must have dropped the thing a dozen times. That would definitely ruin the hardwood inside.

The only thing left to decide is what to do tomorrow. I'm thinking I'll go up to the heavier bell (24 kg) and keep with swings and get-ups. A week of inactivity did more harm than I thought, and I need to get back to basics.
