Just got my TRX force package, and did my first workout yesterday for the 12-week program.
Looking ahead, given my travel and work schedule, I might not always be able to get in the runs, so I am trying to figure out alternates. Since I am interested in kettlebells, I am interested in using those as TRX cardio alternates.
I found another thread where they talked in general about using kettlebells as cardio alternates, and I was wondering if anyone had mapped this out specifically for the force 12-week program?
For example, I was thinking:
1.) Intensity Run (e.g., 2 5-min hills with 5-min easy between each repeat) --> 2 5-min sets of 15:15 kettlebell snatch or swing intervals at, say, 7 reps per interval, with 5-min active recovery between each set
2.) Tempo Run (e.g., 20 min at hard tempo pace) --> 50 swings at pace 70-80% of max, rest for 20 seconds, repeat for 10 minutes
3.) Long Run (e.g., 50 min at very easy pace) --> 2 10-min sets of 15:15 kettlebell snatch or swing intervals at, say, 3 reps per interval, with 5-min active recovery between each set
NB: Use a lighter bell for the above exercises.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks,
Kendall
