I was really inspired by the Bootcamp Program but I can't do that and the evening workout so I chose a half hour functional workout that works in moderation on everything that interests me.
I'll save Bootcamp Program for the summer when there's no evening classes :LOL:
The main training is those 5 min straight exercises with the kettlebell, I would like to be able to use the 12kg kettlebell and slowly I will succeed :)

I like the new functional training and it works well, after 5 minutes of kettlebells I already sweat and in the 5 minutes of fighting techniques I do an overview of the basic techniques of knees, elbows, punches and kicks of Muay Thai, all with satisfaction but without exaggerating :)

I added 100 2 Handed Kettlebell Swing to my morning workout today, I'll do them Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
The ultimate goal is to be able to do 100 kettlebell swings every day after the kettlebell warmup and I would be really satisfied.
I think I've made peace with the fact that I don't really like weight training, it's useful but nothing more.
Instead, I find training with kettlebells very interesting and fun so I can find a more than acceptable compromise and train strength with kettlebells :)
I'll have to do a skillful job of measuring so as not to strain my joints too much.

It's a bit complicated to calibrate the morning workout because the evening one is rather unpredictable and in any case demanding, I'll continue to experiment.
This week I'm going to try 100 kettlebell swings on Calisthenics days in the evening, next week I'll try them when I have Muay Thai in the evening and see what works best :)

Today I tried 2 Handed Kettlebell Swing with an EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute) workout.
Basically you do 1 minute sets, in the first part you do the exercises and in the remaining time of the minute you rest and then start again without breaks for as many sets as you want.
Doing 10 reps I use 20 sec and rest for 40 sec, ideal for a very relaxed workout, I'll try 15 reps on Friday.
This way I know for sure that the workout lasts 10 minutes and I can modulate the effort by varying the number of repetitions from 10 to 20 and the weight of the kettlebell. It's worth experimenting with because it might actually allow me to do kettlebell swings every day without overexerting myself.
I like it when I find solutions :)

Yesterday I tried to use the 12kg kettlebell for the kettlebell warm up (halved the time and reps), it's still a bit too heavy but it's a goal I can reach :)
Today I tried to do 15 reps instead of 10 in the EMOM, 150 reps total is a bit much for a quiet workout but doable.
I will take a two day break and then from Monday I will try to do kettlebell swings every day, staying on 10 reps EMOM for 10 mins, 100 reps in total, a nice but calm workout, without straining too much.
My idea is to get to 15 minutes of basic training with kettlebells, very very simple and without getting tired, to get the body used to a daily workout with weights and to improve my strength a little in the long run.
Overall, however, the workout would last 40 minutes, 15 min of kettlebell exercises, 5 min of Muay Thai fighting techniques, 20 of warmup and stretching.

@Gandhalfit thanks :love:

@Tileenah each has its own unit of measurement and that's fine :)

@Nihopaloa I tend to go viral... in the gym where I go there has been a staggering increase in Muay Thai and Calisthenics students of my age, we are invaded by elderly athletes :LOL:

I've been ruminating for days about how to reorganize my training because I don't feel like going to the gym 5 nights a week.
So I will give up Calisthenics even though I like it and just go to Muay Thai and come back to do some gym in the morning.
Pretty much the only workout schedule I can stick to is Darebee's 30-day schedule :LOL:

After 3 months I started working out again in the gym with weights and... I thought it would be worse :LOL:
I took it slow but I was pleased that the Calisthenics workout didn't make me lose strength, quite the contrary.
I'll try to make the most of this change of times and training :)


P.S. There's always the fit blonde old lady who occupies the last piece of equipment I have to use for training :LOL:

I tend to underestimate the importance of recovery in training, I always try to take as few breaks as possible and always add something and end up feeling tired.
The fact that I was tired and felt that training was excessive led me to give a good snip to what didn't interest me and simplify the rest as much as possible.
I'll see how it goes and above all I'll see if I can keep a good balance between good training and full recovery :)
