People with specific goals outside of kettlebells - how do you structure your approach to fitness?
Hey guys, just wanted some thoughts on goal-setting and basically what the title says.
I have various calisthenics goals (front lever, adv. tuck planche, slow bar muscle up), which are things I'm on the way to working towards and are my most important "I have now achieved this" goals.
However, when I ask "what type of fitness is really important", the answer is definitely rooted in kettlebells (building work capacity, longevity, mobility, metabolic-conditioning etc.). I see kettlebell training as invaluable for those things, it's just that I don't have those same specific goals driving me (e.g., I'd rather be able to say "I can do a front lever" vs. "I can press X kg").
Is anyone else in this sort of position, either with calisthenics or something else (running, swimming etc)? If so, how do you structure your week to incorporate kettlebells alongside your main goals elsewhere, and what kettlebell workouts do you end up doing?
For reference, I'm currently thinking of something similar to below, with all sessions being "full body" and the general mindset of "raise your ceiling with calisthenics, raise your floor with kettlebells". Mon/Sun are difficult timewise my end, hence the two back-to-back sessions:
- Mon: rest
- Tue: calisthenics
- Wed: kettlebells
- Thu: rest
- Fri: calisthenics
- Sat: kettlebells
- Sun: rest
