Medium Day Workout

Last Night
Optional Day workout:


  • Getups with 70lb kettlebell, 2 each side
  • Clean & Presses with 70lb kettlebell
    A few sets of 1 rep each arm & 1 set of two reps per arm.
    Although I've done more in the past I'm keeping practice sessions easy & light.

10:00 AM
Private lesson with Tiffany.

  • 5 halos ea direction
  • 5 Getups ea side
  • 30 seconds of double presses > 30 seconds of double front squats > 30 sec rest > repeat 5x
  • 30 seconds of plank > 30 seconds of 1 leg maxercist rows (each arm) > 30 sec rest > repeat 5x
  • 5 minutes of swings at 80%

    Tiffany is developing great technique and displaying excellent core strength and control. I'm officially impressed.
"I am having a blast working out with the Kettlebells and with Scott. Not only
is it fun, it is extremely challenging and I am already seeing results. As
a swimmer, I am finding that I feel more powerful in the water. My ab and back
muscles are getting a great workout and my waist is getting smaller, not to
mention the weight I am losing at a healthy rate. " -Tiffany Finley
