Kettlebell swings!

I started a new kettlebell program today.  It starts with just swings on one day and Turkish Get Ups on the next.  That said, it was still a great workout, although I realized I did the program wrong.  I did all rounds instead of stopping at 12 minutes.  So, I did 26 minutes instead of 12.  Oops.  Today was swings and the whole thing took about 36 minutes with warm up.  It was a LOT of swings.  240 swings, to be exact.  I did feel like that type of volume helped me feel when I was getting it right and when I wasn't.  It helped me start adjusting.  It felt great and I felt strong, a lot more snappy than last time.  I did much better jumping rope this time.  I actually jumped more than 4 times in a row.  Oh, and I got a blister on the ring finger of my left hand.  I think it will just dissolve into a callous.

Warm up - 2 rounds of 10x wall squats, 10x halos, 10x pumps
Workout - 12 sets of 20 swings (~30seconds) with 1 minute of active rest in between
Active rest - 3 rounds of 4 exercises for 1 minute each: jumping jacks, mountain climbers, squat thrust with pushup, rope skipping

Then, I rode about 5.5 miles with the kiddos, pulling the Trail-a-bike.  We had some nice hills.  Beautiful day!
