Apropos of absolutely nada, decided to to an amrap circuit session today. To be clear, I prefer to use the term 'to exhaustion' rather than failure...or even amrap, which is a goofy acronym. 'Twas okay, not amazing work aside from the pump afterwards! Here's how it went down. Did all movements in circuit, 3 minutes rest, then cycled through again x3.
Pull-ups x 20 / 20 / 20
Closed stance squats x 100 / 50 / 50
Para bar push-ups x 26 / 23 / 23
Calf raises x 25 / 30 / 32
Db angled raises x 22 / 22 / 20
Db shrugs x 13 / 16 / 13

Às vezes, o exercício pode parecer uma tarefa árdua. É fácil cair na rotina, executando a mesma rota todas as vezes ou pressionando o play nos mesmos treinos online. É difícil encontrar tempo para criar um novo plano de treino ou assumir o compromisso de experimentar uma nova aula.
Mas quando seu corpo se acostuma a fazer o mesmo treino o tempo todo, seu progresso geralmente para. O AMRAP pode…

Your dog could hate the things you do, and you may not even realize it. The things that irritate dogs are different from the things that irritate humans. Generally, dogs dislike hugs, not being allowed to sniff, a lack of routine, and more. Even the most laid-back dog will hate some of the things we humans do—if they tolerate it, it's just because they love you or don't want to be dominant. Yes, certain things are unavoidable, like vet visits or grooming. However, there are other ways we can try to take it easy on our dogs. No two dogs are exactly the same, so what one dog hates another dog may enjoy.
No.5 Hugging
It's really cute to look at photos of people hugging dogs, but the reality is not so comfortable. Many dogs do not enjoy hugs, especially from strangers. Placing your arms around a dog's neck or body may be perceived as a threat. Most dogs tolerate gentle hugs from trusted humans, but that doesn't mean they actually like them.
A better alternative is to let the dog cuddle on his own terms and pet him along the back and on the chest (especially if you don't know the dog well). Of course, some dogs do love to be hugged. It's important that you know your own dog and understand his limits. Pay attention to his body language to help you understand how he feels when you hug him. If he leans away, averts his eyes, yawns, licks his lips, has a worried look, or shows other appeasement gestures, he's probably uncomfortable.
No.4 Getting in a Dog's Face and Personal Space.
Much like hugging, dogs tend to dislike it when humans get in their faces. Think about how it would make you feel! Avoid putting your hands in a dog's face, towering over dogs, and rushing towards them. This is especially important if the dog does not know you well.
As an owner, if you need to poke and prod your dog for his own good (like ear cleaning or tooth brushing) go slowly, be gentle, and reward your dog with treats and/or praise. If your dog exhibits appeasement gestures, shows signs of fear, or acts aggressive, back off! It's always best to be careful and prevent a dog bite.
No.3 Not Letting a Dog Sniff and Explore on Walks.
Dogs enjoy going on walks for more than just the exercise. Taking a walk outdoors gives your dog a chance to explore the world. Your dog explores the world primarily through scent, then with his other senses (whereas most humans explore the world first through sight). Rushing your dog through a walk without allowing him to stop and sniff (and mark) is unkind.
If you think about it, it's like someone dragging you by the arm through your favorite shop without allowing you to stop and look at anything. If it happens all the time, that would be pretty frustrating, wouldn't it? So next time you walk your dog, give him plenty of time to explore his environment.
No.2 Lack of Routine and Rules
Your dog may not seem like it, but he needs rules. If your dog is acting out, it's probably because you have not taught him the rules. Training is an important part of providing structure in your dog's life. A routine is important because your dog has an internal clock. Try to feed your dog at the same time each day. Establish an exercise routine too if possible.
After a few days of structured rules and routine, you will probably notice that your dog is happier. Routines and rules make your dog's world more predictable and can actually boost his confidence.
No.1 Yelling and Harsh Punishment.
No one likes to be yelled at or harshly punished (such as being spanked). Dogs may not understand the words we are saying, but they sense your emotions when you do it. If you have a sensitive or fearful dog, you may find that yelling, and harsh punishment actually upsets or scares your dog. Fear does not equal respect, and you will not strengthen your relationship with these methods.
Even if your dog is aloof or ultra-happy, you will probably find that yelling and harsh punishment don't help in the long run because your dog becomes desensitized (meaning he does what he wants anyway and you just keep repeating yourself).
Positive reinforcement is generally the most effective type of training. To correct unwanted behavior, you can try redirecting your dog towards a preferred behavior instead of yelling or smacking him. Train your dog to "drop it" or "leave it" are great ways to stop your dog from eating or chewing something he shouldn't. You can teach him "come" or "watch me" to get his attention when he is doing something wrong. Be sure to reward him when he complies. Dogs are more likely to listen to you when you issue a request rather than a non-specific "no" or "stop it."

But there's more to kettlebell training than this one (albeit very effective) exercise. This routine from the awesome fitness duo Twice The Health (opens in new tab) keeps things a bit more varied, packing six moves into a 22-minute session.
It's split into two sections too; a 10-minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) workout and a 12-minute EMOM (Every Minute On the Minute) session. So, you can perform them one after the other or just pick one if you're really short on time.
If this is the first time you've come across these training styles, the aim of an AMRAP workout is to do as many repetitions of the prescribed exercises as you can in the allotted time. For this session, do 8-10 repetitions of each move before starting on the next. Then, keep repeating this three-move circuit until the 10 minutes are up.
For the second section, set a 12-minute running clock. Perform eight repetitions on each side of the body of the first movement (suitcase deadlifts) then rest until the timer hits 60 seconds. In the second minute, do the same for the single-arm bent-over rows, and in the third copy this format for plank drags. Complete four rounds to reach the 12-minute finish line.
As this is a high-intensity routine, it's essential to focus on your form, so watch Twice The Health's demonstrations before starting to perfect your technique.
