I got this template workout from the Dragon Door Hardstyle magazine and it was an article written by Brett Jones. I thought I'd try it. I found it to be challenging. I would have like to have done another circuit but one was enough and I think I took longer rest periods in between then I would have liked.
This template is one Mr. Jones recommends for those who plan on getting their RKC instructor certificate. I know I'm not interested in being an instructor but I might want to take some certificate training in the future.
I have lots of ambitions and goals and for me I am training with kettlebells to look buff and get an efficient workout. Yes I am a little vain but my vanity is also good for my health since exercise is good for you and makes you feel better and more confident.

Done with a 26 lb kbell
Snatches 8 x 8l/8r
I measured myself last Sunday as I've been keeping track of my hip, waist and thigh measurements and I lost another inch in my hips and lower ab area. I think I started taking my measurements a month into training but so far I've lost 2 inches in the hip/lower ab area, which is probably where the most fat is stored. I probably want to lose 2-3 more inches there, 2 inches in my thighs and about 5 inches around my waist. The unfortunate thing in weight loss is you can't tell the body where you want all the fat to leave.
My hands are blistery as well from doing these snatches. I wanted to do an extra set because I know last time I did a workout of just snatches, I did 8 sets of 7 so I wanted to do an extra set. Damn I found this hard to do!
