Conditioning and abs
![]() |
Kayla Baumgardner |
I just made this up on the spot, rather than my usual planning ahead.
3 circuits, 90 seconds rest in between
30 kettlebell swings (12kg)
15 burpees
15 lateral kettlebell swings per arm (8kg)
10 burpees
30 kettlebell swings (12kg)
5 burpees
Simple, but good enough to get the heart pumping. I was drenched in sweat by the end.
Ab rollouts - 3 x 20
Bicycle crunches - 3 x 30 per leg
Swiss ball pushups/rolls - 10, 10, 7
Leg raises - 3 x 12

Rowing and core
I don't usually train on Sundays, but I didn't have time to do as much as I wanted yesterday, plus I was bored so I went to the Stonecroft gym for a short workout.
Rowing - 2k; damper setting @ 6
Time = 10:27
I used to think that the higher the damper setting, the harder it is to row. However, I recently stumbled across a CrossFit article - which, quite frankly, I didn't understand - that says this isn't the case. It's just... different. Anyway, this 2k with the damper at 6 felt tougher on my arms than my recent 5k set at 10.
======
Some core work, all separate and untimed.
100 sit-ups
Push-up/Swiss ball crunches - 7, 6, 6, 7
Leg/hip raises - 5 x 10 reps
Rowing - 2k; damper setting @ 6
