This Friday, the day after Thanksgiving, marks the unofficial start of the holiday shopping season … and there’ll no doubt be some fantastic deals.  But the best deals are always in limited supply, so being in top shape could mean beating fellow shoppers ‘to the punch’ and grabbing that flat screen T.V. or laptop computer at 80% off …

Don’t worry, I’ve created a special black Friday kettlebell workout to help you prepare.  You’ll practice grabbing an item off the high shelf, reverse jabbing a competing shopper behind you and more. Enjoy!

Black Friday Kettlebell Workout

• begin the workout with 5 mins. of foam rolling/joint mobility/dynamic stretching
• then, perform the following kettlebell and body weight circuit three times as fast as possible:

15 ‘High Shelf Reaches’ (single or double kettlebell thrusters)

5 ‘Get Up & Go’s’ (burpees + 10 yard sprints)

15 ‘Reverse Elbow Jabs’ each arm (kettlebell high pulls)

12 ‘Lunge & Grabs’ each leg (forward touchdown lunges)

• finish with 5 mins. of static stretching for tight muscle groups

Happy holidays, and don’t shop too hard –
