Kettlebell February Challenge!

In November we at M-2Sport.ca did the Kettlebell November Challenge, a month long journey of 200 kettlebell swings per day. Out of this we became tougher, more disciplined, leaner and way better at the kettlebell swing. Now February has arrived and so has a new challenge

The February Kettlebell Challenge is as simple as it is brutal. 28 days straight of 10 Turkish Get-Ups per day, every day!

Here are the rules:

1. Do 5 TGU's per side per day
2. Do them every single day no matter what!
3. If you do miss a day you suck. Add them to tomorrow and live in shame.

Why do the February Challenge? Why not?! Are you too good at TGU's to get any benefit? Are your abs too strong, your shoulders to stable and is your fitness too good? If not, then you will see benefits from this challenge.

TGU's are an amazing drill for core strength, shoulder health and stability and conditioning. Plus with no impact of unhealthy joint angles, you can do them daily and reap the benefits without joint pains.

At the end of this challenge I expect to have stronger abs, especially obliques, healthier shoulders, and be a wee bit leaner.

Some of you may question why we are only doing 5 reps per side, why not 10 or more? First off, since we are doing them every day, the idea is a little over the long haul, not complete destruction. Secondly, we will be training as usual during this period. For me that means:

1. Kettlebell Class
2. Max Effort Upper Body
3. Max Effort Lower Body
4. Kettlebell Class
5. Upper Body Hypertrophy
6. Lower Body Hypertrohpy
7. Mobility Work

As you can see my training routine is a full load. The TGU's will happen at lunch or right before my training sessions. If the volume of TGU's is too high, it will run me into the ground!

Think about the challenge long and hard before you start it, because if you fail I will question your mental toughness!
