Today’s workout is for all those Kettlebell Fans out there.
This Kettlebell Complex takes just 4 exercises and puts them together into a nice flow.
The beauty of Kettlebell Training is the ability to take an exercise and then seamlessly move into another exercise without having to put the kettlebell down. Using this flowing style of workout ensures that you keep your heart rate elevated while hitting all the muscles of the body.
The following workout is demanding and very cardiovascular. You could use it as part of your Cardio training program rather than traditional running methods.
Ensure you have a base level of Kettlebell Skill before attempting this Workout.

The Numbers
Start by getting used to the flow of the exercises, don’t worry about times and repetitions at this stage, just practice. When you are comfortable try the following repetitions:
Stage 1
Perform 5 repetitions on each side before moving onto the next exercise. Rest for 1-2 minutes at the end and repeat 1-3 times.
Stage 2
Perform 8 repetitions on each side before moving onto the next exercise. Rest for 1-2 minutes at the end and repeat 2-4 times.
Stage 3
Perform 12 repetitions on each side before moving onto the next exercise. Rest for 1-2 minutes at the end and repeat 2-4 times.
Have fun with this little workout and really get into the flow of the transitions as you move from one exercise to the next.
Quick tip: take a rest at the top of the Snatch if needed!
How Often?
As with all training your recovery will be dependent on your lifestyle, nutrition and occupation. As a guide I would recommend at least 1 days rest between this workout and the next.
