I've been consistently working out with the kettlebells the past few weeks, things are going great. My biggest problem now is with endurance. I can swing the 40lb bell really well but I need to take long breaks in between my swings. I'll do about 15-20 swings (25-30 seconds) and need to take a minute or more to recover then swing again.
I picked up a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) app for my phone and set it to go off every 15 seconds for 5 minutes. I switched between doing 25 lb 1-h swings/snatches and 40 lb 2h-swings. 15 sec on/15 sec off, sometimes 30 on/off. Tore me up! This is the way to do it. Got inspired to do this thanks to some Tracy Reifkind videos I saw on YouTube.
