Time is relative.  What may be challenging for you for 30 seconds of work may be a walk in the park for your identical twin.  

Many factors  in play here.   Rest, strength, technique  but for kettlebell sport endurance activities,  BREATHING and technique are really  what takes the cake. and Breathing is not really what many people focus on to get better.   

Using a HEART RATE monitor such as  the POLAR H7 Wireless chest strap  (buy one here )at  Perform Better  http://bit.ly/2ox3ISJ
(or Amazon http://amzn.to/2pUXShr )
you can watch your heart rate IN REAL TIME while you are training so you can see how your breathing and  technique (changes) can effect your HR WHILe you are training.  

This is great for Kettlebell SPORT.    I will be showcasing many HR training protocols and workouts for you to test and see how you can get better.

This is Protocol #1, basically a test .   It can Be a short one or a long one depending on weight  or exercise youre using .  I prefer to use Snatch  for many people but fine for Jerk and Long Cycle as well. 
(Could be Burpees, Kettlebell Swing  or close to anything you wish to test  really...)

Instructions:

 1. FULLY WARMUP the joints and nervous system.      Using the Heart rate monitor on POLAR BEAT or DIGIFIT app on a tablet or your smartphone,    Note Starting HEart RAte
 
2A. Complete 20 snatches Right / 20 Snatches Left arm   Rest until heart rate is around 120bpm or 65%-70%
   2B. Repeat once again.

3. Rest until HR is at  60% or for many people around 100 bpm. 

4.  At 60% start  counting your reps for the snatch with as many hand switches as you like no more than 20 each switch but no less than 10reps.   The Goal is to focus on your breathing and technique  to keep your HR down as low as you can while you  do as many reps as you can . as soon as you hit 85% HR that is your score. 

( I chose a 16kg Kettlebell and was able to do 202 reps on my first trial run of this. )

This can work for anything but is really focused for ketlebell sport endurance sets up to 10 min or so. 

Great for Crosstraining for running etc.

The next time you test this out, perhaps each month if you get a better reps score you know your getting more conditioned  from adaptations  to form and breathing .  If it gets worse, you should think if you are OVER TRAINING  or something alot that line. 

What rep range with what Kettlebell Weight can you get?? Please post it below in the comments. 


Stay tuned for more Breathing and HR protocols in the next month or so from myself and Swing This Kettlebell.
