The "I can do better" Workout

I made up another bodyweight/kettlebell/jump rope circuit. It was fun, but as I was doing it, I was already planning how to make it better for next time. Initially, I planned to do 25 reps of each exercise, but I realized most of them were paired, and needed an even number, so I did 12 on each side instead. Next time, I'll do either 30 or 40 reps instead of "25." I also did 50 jump rope jumps between exercises, but next time I'll do 100, since the 50 seemed a bit short.

Today I biked to work! It usually takes me 35 minutes, but I was running late and still wanted to bike, so I made my self go just a bit faster, and I got there in 29 minutes. Woo hoo!

300 Rep Kettlebell Workout + Jump Rope

I've been very into minimal equipment workouts these days, so I'm doing lots of bodyweight and kettlebell stuff and doing biking and running. It's so fun to not have to drag out a bunch of stuff and still get a great workout in. Today I finally decided to try my hand at making up my own workout, and it was awesome. I wish I had timed it, but it ended up being about 30 minutes. Next time, I'll definitely keep better track of the time, so I have a record to beat!

I did 15 kettlebell exercises, 20 reps per exercise, and did 50 rope jumps in between. I didn't take any rests, just did it straight through. All the moves were with my 12kg bell.

1. 2-arm swing, 20 reps

2. Renegade lunges, 20 reps total, alternating to the right and to the left
