Workout : Ladders

Today's workout was a ladder.

What this means, is that we do a descending (or ascending) number of repetitions (reps) of an exercise.

Coach T chose kettlebell snatches, and abs.

So for my workout, i needed an 8 kg kettlebell, and space to do my crunches.

The kettlebell snatches were one handed.

So, you pick up the kettlebell and swing it (jump to get momentum!) up as far as you can extend your arm, then back down to the floor.

We did ten of these, then ten crunches
Then nine snatches, nine crunches
etc
down to one, and one.

We didn't time ourselves, but Wyatt beat his mom and dad by a LONG shot (he used a 25 lb barbell, and Coach T used a big fat kettlebell - 50 lb?)

Fun!
