Rip 60 Week 5 Day 1

Spent the last two days really looking forward to today (Is that really sad!!)

Well week 5 turns things up a notch with the addition of Kettlebells and in my case weights. I only have a 8kg, 12kg and a 16kg KB so I used the 8kg KB for the KB swings but figured that would be too heavy for the other stuff.

So I used a 2.5kg weight plate for the Single leg squat with lateral raise and the Vsit - so chuffed I did the full minute with the plate wahooo!!

For the static single leg squat with KB curl I used a 4.5kg Dumbell.  May be go to 5kg tomorrow.

I also built up my 2 blocks + Step to give me a higher platform to do burpees on so that I can do the push up part as I really want to work on my push ups and it seems a logical thing to do scale the height just like when working on pure push ups. It was still a little low so I think tomorrow I will try my bar at pin 4 where I was last on my push ups and if its too easy drop it down.

Because of my limited space and I have to adjust to different places that Jeremy says on the DVD some of the transition were tough to keep up with today but still a great workout - tough but loved it.

My neck is still a little tight from yesterdays painting the bathroom ceiling but I have to say without the 4 weeks of Rip 60 I think I would have been in pretty bad shape today so thank you Rip 60.
