Tennessee – Full Body Kettlebell Circuit Workout (and fun on the farm)

I was one of those horse girls growing up. You know the girls who played with Bryer horses instead of Barbies. Did anyone else have those? I used to write I <3 Knitpicker all over my Trapperkeeper. Knitpicker was my horse. My Trapperkeeper was an organizer. Do they still makes those?

Anyway ,we spent a week on a farm in Tennessee. It was wonderful and I felt right at home with the animals. It’s one of my not-so-secret dreams to live on a small farm. The only problem is I love to travel and animals, particularly goats, and traveling don’t fit well together. I supposed I could join a circus. Maybe I could complete feats of strength with my kettlebells while the boys do tricks with our pugs? Except I’m not that strong. And the pugs are lazy. Better scratch the circus. I guess living in an RV with 3 boys, 2 pugs, and a cat is the closest thing I’ll ever get to a circus.

A real "farmer's walk"?

Anyway, while at the farm I did a kettlebell workout and hung out with some really great animals.  (The workout starts at 1:28 if you don’t want to meet the animals.)

Tennessee – Full Body Kettlebell Circuit Workout*

Circuit #1
1a. Presses – 5 each side
1b. Alternating Reverse Lunges – 10
1c. Burpees – 1 minute
Repeat 3x

Circuit #2
2a. Rows – 10 each side
2b. Goblet Squats – 10
2c. Mountain Climbers – 1 minute
Repeat 3x

Circuit #3
3a. Upright Row – 10
3b. Single Stiff Led Deadlift – 10 each side
3c. Swings – 1 minute
Repeat 3x

Upright rows aren’t normally part of my repertoire but I wanted to mix things up a little.

*I always do some mobility work for a warm up and try my best to finish with stretching and foam rolling.

We are currently in Florida and loving the warm weather. We are going to be here a few more weeks and I’m hoping to find some time to edit Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi. I loved the locations of all of them but especially Louisiana.

Hugs and High Fives,
Jenn

    I was a horse girl too! Totally had Breyers in place of Barbies!

    Loved the workout…especially loved the horses in the background just taking it all in!

    I LOVED horses as a kid but never had one. it was my obsession though- did I ever tell you about that?! i dreamed of having a horse but my wise parents knew it would be ridiculous to get me one ( not to mention ridiculously expensive!). You are obviously a natural with animals and one day I bet you’ll have that farm.

      No Debs, I didn’t know that!!!! That is so cool!! Your dad was right a horse would be ridic expensive in Southern CA. The main reason I have never owned one while living there. It’s so much less expensive to have one in Indiana.

    I loved meeting all the animals! You look so at home! Maybe a small farm is in your future after all…

    Great workout!

    Enjoy sunny Florida!
