Default Re: The Poker Mom goes Kettlebell

I thought I should do an update. Because of travel, work, schedules, I haven't gotten in 3 days a week the last couple weeks, averaging 2.

This is what I'm doing for a workout:

About 3-5 minutes cardio to warm up with some joint mobility
Around the body pass - 15X each direction
Between the legs pass - 15X each direction
Around 1 leg - 15X each direction X 2
1 arm military press - 15x each side
Bent over rows - 15X each side
Swings 15 x 3
Stretches

I did try the Turkish Get Up today. The kettlebell is at 15# and I'm going to have to go down to the lowest weight, 9# on these for now.

I probably did 3-4 on one side and one on the side with my weaker wrist. It does seem like a great exercise for your core.

So, does the above seem balanced for now? Does it have enough leg work? (The day after, I can feel the work out in my shoulders, but legs not so much.)

I have a hard time keeping flat feet when trying to do any squat. I always end up on my toes for balance. Any suggestions for this?

Is a bent over row considered a pull? (I don't have a pull up bar and I've never been able to do them anyway. Of course, I expect that to change!)
