Happy New Year!
Hope your 2017 is off to an amazing start đ
I am getting ready to head to the gym this morning to lead a BIG group as we roll into our busiest time of the year –
So thought it would be a good time to share another workout from the CORE Kettlebell System.
This is the workout we’ll be doing today, and we’ll have 25-30 folks – so this is what the set up will look like:
– Bodyweight – based warm up – all together
– Main workout – we’ll have a station set up for each exercise, set up 3-4 people at each station, and then start the clock and let them work and rotate around the room for the 20 minutes of the main workout, getting as many rounds as possible.
– Finisher – we’ll get with a partner and swap back and forth between exercises so that we can be sure to have enough kettlebells to go around
– Cool down – all together.
This is a great way to set up a workout if YOU are leading a big group.
It’s also a great way to do it if you’re just training on your own, or in a small group too!
Either way it makes for a unique, fun, and effective workout.
Also keep in mind – this workout is part of a greater SYSTEM. The workout done the day before and the day after is balanced in terms of muscle groups / movement patterns trained. This is more of a “strength” – oriented day, whereas other workouts from the program are more of a “conditioning” focus.
But this should give you a feel for CKS, and what the workouts in it are like.
Let’s do this –
