What weight of kettlebell ball should I use. I am 5ft 10 250lb. And 57 years old
Very good question! The easy answer is that you want to use a weight that allows you to do as many reps as you need to. In other words, if you are looking to do 10 reps for a specific exercise, start light and find a weight that allows you to do the 10 reps (with some effort). As you progress that weight will become “light”. Once you can do 10 reps for the required amount of sets, you can look to move up to the next size kettlebell. You do NOT want to use a weight that is so heavy that you can’t complete your workout. On the flip side, you don’t want to go too light, as you won’t be getting the best possible workout. Good luck and let me know how you are progressing!
So do you do the exercise you choose, THEN do the other exercise? So if I choose the first option, I would do 1 minute of KB swings, then immediately do the 1 minute of push ups?
Happy Holidays! Yes, you do both exercises (back to back), then take the 2-minute rest and repeat 4 more times. That gives you a vigorous 20 minute that you change up for variety, and it works! Love to hear your feedback after doing this routine for a while!
