ERK...

So... I decided for some crazy reason that I wanted to get a Agatsu Kettlebell certification...It will be this Saturday and Sunday from 930-530.

My conditioning is presently (and always has been) absolute garbagio and I also know Lactic Acid is going to rear its ugly ass face and laugh at me... I really hope I don't fail!
From what I understand, at the tail end of the certification we have to complete the 'chrissy' test.

Workout:
30 Burpees
20 Kettle Bell swings

25 Burpees
25 Kettle Bell swings

20 Burpees
30 Kettle Bell swings

15 Burpees
35 Kettle Bell swings

10 Burpees
40 Kettle Bell swings

5 Burpees
45 Kettle Bell swings

Advanced = burpee exercises are done with a high knee jump
Beginners = burpee exercises can be done without the jump




I tried to prepare myself a little bit this week, Monday after 2.5 hours of BJJ my BF and I completed 3 sets of 20lbs KB (lil' baby kettlebell)

25 burpees
25 swings


I had to stop half way through the burpees on almost every set. My legs just did not want to move.

Again on Wednesday after 2.5 hours of BJJ I did
20lbs KB

30 burpees
30 swings

25 burpees
25 swings

20 burpees
20 swings

I nearly escaped death. I had to stop several times during the burpees... My BF QUIT after the first set of burpees and just watched...jerk. (just kidding!! I lurve you!)

  1. You. Officially. Rock. I added Burpees to my Playing Card workout the other day and I actually got to the point of thinking, "okay I am going to throw up now."

    25? In a single set? You are rippingly cool. Thank you for the inspiration!
