I hate that I have to step away from this kettlebell rotation  for a while, especially since I am already seeing changes in my strength and definition, but I don't mind trying new things until I feel okay to do swinging movements and lifting weight over my head.

(the pain started after I bowled w/ my son, I did have a ball that was too heavy for me because that's all that was left but I also did one snatch the day before that wasn't great and I felt like something was wrong, but no pain or discomfort - I wish I knew exactly what it was that it was that hurt me but because those are the only two things that felt off that is what I am going by) Because kettlebells use every single body part I wanted to do something that incorporated many body parts working together, and they had to be safe for my shoulder. Lateral Delt Raises are one of the RXed exercises so I felt okay adding them in (they felt great during and after the workout) and I kept my shoulders nice and packed during the other exercises.

I used lighter weights than I normally would for this workout because I wanted it to be more aerobic, my goal was to get my heart rate up for a good steady state pace using multiple body parts with resistance - a metabolic workout. Another day I may use a heavier weight to challenge myself but today I am taking it easy because I didn't want to push it. I have done killer workouts all week, it's time for me to take it easy (but I did challenge myself w/ the Tabata because IMO no workout is complete without a little challenge ;-]) What is so brilliant about working out at home or on your own is that you can modify according to your needs!

1. The Exercises:
2. 10 Rear Lunges w/ Hammer Curls
3. 10 Side Step Ups w/ Lateral Delt Raises
4. 10 Laying Tricep presses w/ Glute Raises (keeping abs/core tight)
5. As Many Rounds as possible in 15 Minutes
6. The Tabata (10/20 rest/work):
7. Squat Jumps w/ 2x 5# weights
8. Modified Jump Thrusts (did them off of an elevated bench, didn't lift my arms on the jump)
9. Repeat 4 Rounds
10. The Equipment:
11. Bench - mine was 10"
12. Weights - mine were 5#
13. Notebook - to keep track of rounds and reps

1. My numbers:

• Workout: 12 + 3 Rear Lunge/Hammer Curls (but it seems like I should have done more... weird)
• Tabata: SJ 18, 18, 16, 19; JT 9, 11, 10, 10
