Kalau kamu menikmati latihan kettlebell swing, ada cara yang jauh lebih cerdas dan aman untuk memasukkannya ke dalam rutinitas latihan daripada melakukan 100 repetisi setiap hari.
Coba kombinasikan kettlebell swing ke dalam sesi interval, latihan sirkuit, atau program kekuatan dengan variasi repetisi dan beban. Daripada melakukan 100 kettlebell swing saja, kamu bisa menargetkan total 100 repetisi dengan campuran gerakan seperti goblet squat, rowing, dan shoulder press. Pendekatan ini bukan cuma lebih seimbang, tetapi juga membantu mengurangi risiko cedera akibat gerakan berulang, serta memberi kesempatan otot-otot lain untuk pulih.
Tantangan 100 kettlebell swings a day memang terdengar menarik karena kesederhanaannya, tetapi sederhana bukan berarti pintar maupun aman. Tanpa unsur personalisasi, progres bertahap, dan pemulihan yang cukup, tantangan ini bisa berubah menjadi rutinitas monoton yang justru lebih banyak ruginya daripada manfaatnya.
