When I bought Kettlebell Burn 2.0, Kettlebell Burn Reloaded was included with the purchase. Kettelbell Burn Reloaded is built on the same philosophy as Kettlebell Burn 2.0, and has a very similar exercise selection. The difference is in the scheduling. Kettlebell Burn 2.0 schedules 3 training session a week - typically Monday, Wednesday and Friday - and each session takes about 50 minutes - 45 min. total of training time and 2-3 min. of rest between each of the 3 segments of a session. Kettlebell Burn Reloaded schedules 6 training sessions a week, with each session lasting 10 to 35 min. depending on the prescribed activity for that session.
There was a minor skin tear on my left palm from 2-handed KB swinging. I addressed the tear with New Skin and started reading the Kettle Burn Reloaded manual to see if there would be an option for skipping 2-handed KB swings or at least putting it off for another day to allow a little more time for the skin to recover. The more I read the manual, the more I was convinced to switch over Kettlebell Burn Reloaded.
I started this week on Week 3 of Kettlebell Burn 2.0. The Monday session was very similar to what I would have done on Monday and Tuesday of Week 3 of Kettlebell Burn Reloaded, except the 2-hand swing segment of the Monday session under 2.0 was much more demanding than the Tuesday 2-hand swing session would have been under Reloaded, in terms of how much work the trainee is asked to do on a per-minute basis. That said, the Reloaded version is not easy by any means.
Another change going from 2.0 to Reloaded was being asked to do KB cleans for reps, then doing KB presses for reps, instead of doing KB clean+press. This makes sense to me, as one of Geoff's stated design goals in creating Reloaded was to make the program simpler to use. Here we can focus on improving KB clean technique when wejust do cleans, then press technique when we just do presses.
The Get Up Sit Up and Reverse Lunge pair are still the same. Before today I did 5 reps per side, per exercise and was able to do 3 rounds. Today I did 6 reps. I needed so much rest that I was only able to do 2 rounds within the prescribed time period. Under 2.0 I would have then had to do the KB swings. Under Reloaded, I can do them tomorrow instead, which I did not mind at all
