Me too!!
Hey, I just wanted to also mention that if you really get into using kettlebells, you might wantI have 2 kettlebells coming after Prime Days.
to look at getting a pair of the kettlebell wrist wraps/protection to help with kettlebell(s)
knocking against your wrists in certain moves. The other day I happened to think that I had
a pair of them (if I didn't already "toss" them) from years ago that came with a Kettlenetics
kit that I had purchased that had a couple kettlebells, dvds, and these puffy-like wrist
things that you pull on (kind of a terry-cloth material) to use for that reason..I looked for them
but couldn't find them.....I was just looking on Amazon at what they have and thought, go
look again....you didn't toss them!
. Aha, I found them ! They are tight on your wrists,but not too tight and I kept them out, I'm gonna use them. Just a thought.......
Well, I'm exhausted! Order came, yay! and I've been a busy bee. First, trying the pink
hooks. and yep, I do believe they're keepers.....I'm leaving those wrist straps looped thru
somewhat, making it easier and quicker on, just tighten. Glad I got the pink, because I
almost don't have the room to draw real tight, but tight enough. Tried with pullup/chinups
and they work well, better with the vertical pullups/chinups like she does in this series,
than the horizontal, but I'm gonna practice those.......I could tell a difference that I didn't
have as much wrist/hand pull with them. Then I hopped on my rower and holy moly, I was
pulling that handle like "super woman" ! Like I mentioned before, on the circuit workouts
I do, on & off the rower, I don't think I'll use for that...but for just rowing for longer periods
of times, I think I will. Then on to the Jeteca door strap, like I thought, I was stumped
with how to get that ratchet to tighten around the door, had to hop on Amazon again
to watch the video, stopping & rewinding .....but it finally made sense and got that done.
It does give me 2 more anchor points. Then I had to take the one that was on that door
and put it downstairs on another door. Whew........
Yes, I do kettlebell "strength" workouts.......the 10 min. Kettlebell arms one I mentioned
is all strength moves, no swings in it, as far as I can remember. That Workout with
Roxanne (YouTube) has quite a few of only strength moves or with minimal swings.
Yes, Kettlebell swings are a top alternative for burpees and I have done that many
times. You can kind of watch their tempo doing the burpees and adjust your swings
to that tempo. I think alot of times I can get 2 swings in to one burpee, just depends
on how fast the burpees are done.

I hope it’s ok to jump in with my recommendations. I have a kettlebells from 4 pounds to 30 pounds. (I have a 35 pounder that’s more or less a door stop. ) I pull it out for lat rows on occasion.
I only use DVDs and they aren’t advanced. My absolute favorite is Kettlebell Boomers by Andrea Du Cane. It has a 45 minute strength and a 46 minute Cardio workout.
Second Favorite is Shut Up and Train by Lauren Brooks. 12-16 minute sessions - I think 6 or 7 of them.
Third is Kettlenetics, with which I use the light bells. The form is totally different than traditional KBs. It’s dance-like and circular. Definitely not for everyone.
I use them as stack/add-on workouts. Usually only a week at a time. I looked up my last micro-rotation using them. It wasn’t a Cathe Rotation. The SADSAE & Rotator Cuff Reset are just movements I put together to maintain realignment I’ve achieved in my left hip and right shoulder/collarbone.
2 S - Restorative - P90X2 Recovery and Mobility 60m
3 M - Total Body: P90 Sculpt A 30m, Kettlebell Boomer Strength 46m, Cadillac Rotator Cuff Reset 5m
4 T - Cardio: P90 Sweat A + Abs 38m, Kettlebell Boomer Cardio 47m
5 W - Total Body: P90 Sculpt A 30m, Kettlenetics form review, squats, dead lifts, swings, etc. 22m, SADSAE + Rotator Cuff Realign 15m
6 Th - Cardio: P90 Sweat A 30m, Lauren Brook’s Shut Up and Train #1 17m, SADSAE 10m
7 F - Total Body: P90 Sculpt A 30m, Lauren Brook’s Shut Up and Train #2: 14m, SADSAE + Cadillac Rotator Cuff Reset 15m
8 S - P90 Saturday Special 28m, Lauren Brook’s Shut Up and Train #3: 15m, SADSAE + Cadillac Rotator Cuff Reset 15m

Thanks! I want to explain that the P90 workouts in this rotation are Total Body and cardio plus abs. To do this with Cathe I’d choose a Cathe Total Body weight workout and for me typically one of her step DVDs.Yes, absolutely! Thank you!

This is the Cadillac in our back Pilates/yoga room. Hopefully this works. You can see the light springs connected to each side. You could alternatively set up Cathe’s door attachment at the correct height and use her light tubing or band. This isn’t strength. It’s light resistance to remind my rotator cuff muscles to correctly contract and the muscles that were part of my poor shoulder patterning to stay quiet.

Here are links to similar exercises.
Band exercises
Ball exercises
I change these exercises into spring exercises. Editing to say I do my exercises standing.

I use the Cadillac at the Pilates studio. At home I have a Pilates Springboard and a Reformer which allows me to do a lot of the same exercises. The Springboard gives you different angle options, compared to the Reformer. I absolutely love Pilates. The studio I go to focuses on rehab and correct alignment.

I use the end of the Cadillac as a spring board. You’re right about the angles. We also have a Stott Rehab V2 Max reformer with a tower, mat converter and jump accessories. I love Pilates.
I have a pair of 1lb toning balls…..think I am going to try these with the balls….my
shoulders will probably say “thank you”!

Thank you. We are definitely equipment heavy. Yes we do still have the water Rower. I haven’t been using it as much as previously but my family uses it 2-3 times weekly. I’m more likely to use it as add on cardio to compliment UB work or as part of a rotation.
