TRAINING/NUTRITION BLOG: 4/12/12

TRAINING:
20 minutes, alternating 10 Hindu pushups at the top of one minute, and 10 40kg kettlebell swings at the top of the next, for a total of 100 easy reps of each.

This was a very light workout, but the primary goal here was to loosen up the hamstrings a little and work on getting the speed back in the hip and knee extension. It was feeling a little slow the other day.

You have to really limit the number of swings per set in order to ensure this, and cannot let yourself fatigue. After about 15 minutes I was able to accelerate the bell significanty faster. The Hindu pushups are also a great stretch for the low back, hamstrings, hip flexors and calves. This is a great combo.

Your comment about corn starch made me look at the sour cream in my fridge. Yup, it includes corn starch.
