15 min Kettlebell / Bodyweight AMRAP

AMRAP is an acronym that stands for “As Many Reps As Possible” OR “As Many Rounds As Possible”

It is a perfect format for building intensity, conditioning, endurance, and mental toughness.

I use the format frequently in my workout programming, such as in the 28 Day KB Shred Challenge (details below)

Here is an example from this morning’s boot camp sessions at FVT:

#

15 min Kettlebell / Bodyweight AMRAP

Do as many rounds as you can in 15 minutes of:

5 1 arm KB press right
5 1 arm KB press left
(recommneded weights = 8k/12k women; 16k/20k men)
16 alternating reverse lunges (8 per side)
15 two hand KB swing (recommended weights = 16k+ women; 24k+ men)
12 ring rows
7 burpees

#

These type of workouts are great for tracking your gains, and progressing your workouts as you get stronger.

Because if you take workout like this and repeat it, say, one time per month, you can see if you are getting MORE rounds / reps – and if your fitness level is quantifiably improving.

NOTE: It is VERY important to program these workouts intelligently. This would include – making sure you are hitting all of your major movement patterns; that you are programming the RIGHT rep range of each movement for both the results you are after, maximum safety, etc; that workouts fit together in the big picture and are progressing you intelligently towards a goal; and much more. This is why – unless you are a highly qualified and in-the-trenches experienced fitness professional, I do not recommend putting your own workouts together. Get programs that are tested and proven so that you can get the best results.

To sum up – your goals include fat loss, endurance, and better overall fitness, I recommend incorporating AMRAP workouts like the one in today’s article into your routine!

Now this Challenge is NOT for everyone.

First requirement is that you need to have a kettlebell or two to do the workouts. You don’t need 5 or 10 or 20 or anything like that – but you do need one or two, ideally a 8k or 12k and a 16k or 20k for women, and a 12k or 16k and a 20k or 24k for men.

Second, you need to be able to commit the time to do the workouts. Three to four times per week, 20-30 minutes is what you’ll need.

Third, we have a complete meal planning guide we give to you when you sign up that tells you exactly how and what to eat – you need to be able to commit to following that (or following your own plan that you know works for you, but be committed to focusing on and dialing in your diet) for at least the 28 days, to really get the best results.

And finally, you need to be SERIOUS about making a change, and be willing to come into the Challenge and the group with a positive, can-do attitude.

Ready to rock?

Sumbit your interest form at the link below, look forward to hearing from you:
