Seniors would kettlebells too

Nov. 15th.

today's training:

Warm up: Crossfit "Cindy" WOD(5 sets of 5 pull ups,10push ups,15sit ups,20 squats)

2 kettelbell cleans 10 sets of 10 reps: 12,16,20,24kg.

2 kettlebell push press: 12kg 5 sets, 16kg 5 sets. 12 to 14 reps per min. 1 min work 1min rest. for 12 sets. fast and hard but get full extention.



Worked on the push press cleans so I rack lower for the long cycle and the push press from the rack and get full extension each rep. It must be working as I hit the two bells at the top of the lift most of the time.


Yesterday I was thinking about the lack of peers in kettlebell sport. On one hand most of the organizations don't really encourage seniors to lift kettlebells, I know this first hand having trained with most of the organizations. I am not blaming the organizations as its up to the individuals to pursue the sport or exercises using kettlebells, however some education as to the benefit's of joint mobility, and rehab effects resulting from kettlebell exercise and sport could help promote to a potential larger audience. It would be nice to have a seniors division once in a while, not for handicapping but to allow "gray beards" a chance to compete with each other. Powerlifting has a very large veterans and seniors divisions.


Its been 3 years since I had back issues that left me in pain most of the time and restricted my sport performance, but since training in kettlebell sport 4 to 6 times a week, all pain or restrictions have been eliminated by my direct intervention using kettlebells. I am sold that this activity has huge potential for recapturing functional movement.

Nov. 14th. sat.

Today's training:
3 mile walk/run with 40lb Xvest.

Hi:

My passion is kettlebell training because it's the only sort of fitness workout that I was able to stick with for the long term.

I lost 30 pound in 2 years using kettlebells, and I'm in the best shape of my life.

Thanks!
