Kettlebell Cardio by Heartrate

Maintain the heartrate above 125bpm while performing the following kettlebell exercises:
  • Floor Press 3 x 10
  • Alternating Bent Over Rows 3 x 10
  • Clean & Press 4 x 5
  • Clean 4 x 10
  • Press 2 x 10
  • Basic Swing 2 x 25
I took it easy for the past two days, nursing a couple of budding injuries. I'm feeling chronic pain in my right hip/groin area where the femur fits into the pelvis, near the rectum. I usually feel this pain when I increase my running mileage too quickly. I use it as a sign that I should back off. Rest and Motrin usually do the trick; however, this time it's proving to be a bit stubborn. I also feel this injury during weight baring movements such as when ruck marching or carrying heaving kettlebells from one place to another. I fear that this is the cause of my current problem. Recognizing that I need to do something to burn some calories, I elected to do a short workout, keeping my heartrate above 125 bpm. Time: 35:03, 350 calories burned.
