Day 5 of 21

1-Arm Kettlebell Snatch or Swing:

10R

10L

Total = 60

I wanted to show you how I handled the Day 4 challenge with a student, Martha. It always helps to have someone going through something like this with you. We’re using 35 lbs bells. Martha’s technique is really fast reps and she puts it down after 10 reps. I am slower, and steadier, and resting with a hold at the top of the movement, no setting the bell down. It’s 5 reps each side, through to 50. Everyone is going to have their own approach but the goal is the same.
