off days

on your off days from this program alternate between days for mobility and cardio. if your kettlebell program days fall on mon/wed/fri, then look at tues/sat as cardio days and thursday for mobility work only. take one day per week for rest.

for cardio options, look at one day of longer steady state cardio (30-45 minutes in leNGth) and one day of higher intensity interval work (10-15 minutes).

STEADY STATE DAY - KEEP HEART RATE RANGE BETWEEN LOW & MID RANGE (SHOWN BELOW)

HIGH INTENSITY INTERVAL DAY - KEEP HEART RATE RANGE BETWEEN LOW AND HIGH RANGE (SHOWN BELOW)

USE THE FOLLOWING EQUATION TO GET AN ESTIMATED MAXIMUM HEART RATE:

206.9 - (0.67 X AGE) = ESTIMATED MAX HEART RATE or EMHR

EMHR X 0.64 = LOW RANGE OF HEART RATE

EMHR X 0.74 = MID RANGE OF HEART RATE

EMHR X  0.84 = HIGH RANGE OF HEART RATE

FOCUS ON KEEPING YOUR HEART RATE IN BETWEEN THE LOW AND HIGH HEART RATES

KEEP IN EYE ON YOUR INBOX FOR WEEK 2 COMING SHORTLY!
