Fitness - Level 2 Skills Class - 4/10

Level 2 Skills class
Today in the level 2 skills class there was no gymnastics or strength work. Instead, Dave gave us a kettle bell workshop. It was incredibly beneficial.

We set up two lines of kettle bells that progressed in weight starting at 12 Kg, then 16Kg, 20Kg, 24Kg, then the 32 Kg bells.

He had us start off with one two handed swings and work through the line (up to the heaviest weight that you could do with good form, or were comfortable doing). Then one handed swings followed by single arm kettle bell clean, then two arm kettle bell clean. Each time we went down the line he'd spend a little time tweaking or giving pointers if needed.

We then did two arm clean and jerks and moved on to two arm full squat clean and jerks. And finally the last movement we did down the line was the kettle bell snatch.

When we started each movement at the light weights, the point was to really work your form and not just throw it around because you could. That way when you get to the heavier bells, you're more efficient and it's a much more fluid movement.

After a lot of kettle bell work, I always feel really good. My whole body feels worked yet not destroyed. I don't know, i just feel like everything is in line. I can only relate it to how I feel after a yoga session. It just feels good!
