Video: Part of a HIIT workout me and Emily did outside today on Hooker Fields at UNC Chapel Hill.

It was a beautiful today and we wanted to do some conditioning so we did our workout outside :) I brought my portable badass speaker (I am DJ Swoll afterall) and we had that blasting.

Our workout was 3 Rounds of:

  • 1 min of KB snatches
  • 1 min of a bodyweight exercise (burpees, squats, lunges, etc.)
  • Jog a lap around the field

It was a good little workout to get the heart rate up and get some sun

Edit: I like mah quadz

Mashin it Up

Went to MashElite to train today! I have really been wanting to practice my oly lifts and here is the only place where I can get critiqued from S&C coaches.  

I usually train with the owner but he was at the other location today so I got the other Head Coach, Derek.  I hadn’t interacted with him much until today but I really like him. He’s a good coach and he pointed out that when I clean, my butt comes up before my shoulders do and I need to keep my butt down when I pull.  Apparently, I deadlift with my butt down (the correct way) but as soon as I try to clean, I lead with my butt.  I’ll work on that.

Followed the cleans with deadlifts and then a 3 rounds of 8 reps each for KB goblet squats, db bench press, kb hinges, and hamstring ball curls.  

After the workout, I was playing around with the kettlebells and Derek saw me and was impressed that I knew to swing with a proper hinge and not by squatting down.  I also showed him how I could snatch and windmill.  He said he was so glad that I would be interning there this summer and said to email him any time I wanted cool S&C info, advice, discussion, etc.  

Derek said he was obsessed with Kettlebells a few years ago and suggested the RKC certification.  It’s quite a bit of money but would probably pay off to have.

I’m so stoked to intern there! I start after my summer class at UNC is over.  Summer school starts Monday and goes until June 17 or 18 (depending when on my final is).

Here’s a pic of my pup, Lucy, from our walk today: instagr.am/p/KdFLXjvzEb/

Kettlebell circuit workout! If you’re handy with a kettlebell this is for you.

Double Kettlebell snatches, goblet squats, over head press, double kettlebell swings and overhead sit ups. Do 10 of each. Increase reps for a full body workout.

Please subscribe to the Rise Above Fitness youtube! A leg circuit for girls is on its way. http://www.youtube.com/user/RiseAboveFitness 

Good thing I just got a kettlebell! :)

Really wanted a high quality kettlebell so I splurged and bought one from DragonDoor.com  Plus, with the purchase of one of their kettlebells, you get a free class from an RKC instructor if there’s one in your area. I checked and there’s one in my city so awesome! 12kg (26ish lbs). Can’t wait to use it :)
