We are on round two of our One-A-Day program. It has been great so far and we hope to continue using it for the time being, although we may switch some of the exercises in upcoming cycles (e.g. we thought of switching out farmer's walks in future weeks to kettlebell swings - both are 'full-body' exercises that will help us with strength and metabolic conditioning).
We hope that we are inspiring people through CoupleFit; sharing new ideas and helping build motivation to embrace a healthy lifestyle as a couple, including fitness...
For this workout, we alternated our sets (i.e. one person is exercising while the other rests/recovers). This made the workout longer, but it also allowed us to achieve higher reps in our sets. Here's what we did (with video demonstrations):
Overhead Kettlebell Stair Carries - 4 sets
Regular Double Kettlebell Stair Carries - 4 sets
Assisted (Lifting Straps) Double Kettlebell Stair Carries - 4 sets
Overhead Kettlebell Farmer's Walk - 2 sets
Assisted Double Kettlebell Farmer's Walk - 2 sets
We did this workout first thing in the morning (after a latte, of course) - it was a great way to wake up and start the day with a feeling of accomplishment. Working out in the morning can be a lot of fun, especially on the weekends when it doesn't have to be at 5:30am! As with our last farmer's walk workout, we found that this is a great exercise that targets most muscle groups (i.e. full body). It is also a great metabolic conditioning challenge (especially when using lifting straps later in the workout, to allow you to push through the pain and do numerous reps in each set). We hope that you can give them a try - let us know what you think!
