Kettlebell builds core strength. Try after situps and plank and you'll feel what I am talking about! |
One of the biggest impacts of crossfit has been on my core. My abs, and the deeper abdominal muscles. Lately I have been focusing my crossfit home workouts (about 4-5 a week) on my core, with a subtler emphasis on arms, quads, hams. Here is the workout I am really digging right now:
4 X (as fast a possible without losing form):
- 10-15 Kettlebell Lift Squats, 80% max weight (I don't have heavier than a 35#, so that's what I use, but if I had 45#, that would be better.
- 10-15 kettle bell swings with 80% max weight, so go heavy as there are fewer repeats, 35# for me
- 5 reps each arm of one handed kettle bell swings, lighter weight, for me 20#
- 10 one-legged squats on each side
Then, do 4 X this workout, again as fast as possible:
- 10 pushups
- 1 minute plank on elbows
- 10-15 v-sit ups
- 30 elbow to knee situps (15 each side)
And then you're done! Tired, but happily DONE!~
