“KB Fit Over 40” – Sample Workout

I think one of the things that people are surprised about is the results we can create working three or four, 30 minute – ish kettlebell workouts per week.

Each individual is a little different when it comes to starting fitness level, experience, injury history, etc – and I think this is why you can get the best POSSIBLE results with a kettlebell plan that is INDIVIDUALIZED to all of this by a pro coach like me (details on that program if you are interested coming soon!)…

…but I wanted to start by giving you a basic KB workout that is designed for “Jim” (a pretend online PT client). Jim is:

  • 46
  • Primary goal is 15 lbs of fat loss over the next 90 days
  • Jim has a nagging shoulder injury, so we’re going easy on the overhead work
  • Jim also plays basketball two days per week for a couple of hours, works around 50 hours per week, and has two kids in middle/high school – so his time is limited
  • We have this full-body KB workout plus two more like it designed for him each week, along with two bonus HIIT sessions
  • He does the workout exactly as written each day, logs his progress in my app, and then I take a look / give comments / hold him accountable to getting it done
  • We tweak / modify / give feedback regularly and guide him to the results he’s looking for
