I love to finish my workouts with one to ten minute kettlebell “finishers”. These consist of a few moves done at high intensity, incorporating both cardio and resistance exercise, to full exhaust the body.
I like to think of it as a final chance to push my limits and maximize fat loss and / or muscle growth for the day!
Here is one of my favorites:
#
5 Min Turkish Get Up + Burpee Kettlebell
Prescribed weight = 24k men / 16k women
Set your timer for five minutes.
Start doing Turkish Get Ups. Switch sides after every rep.
Every minute, on the minute, stop and do three burpees.
#
I use finishers like these – customized to each client’s individual goals / needs / fitness level, of course – with most, if not all, of my KB Fit Over 40 – Personalized Coaching clients. If you are interested in getting a program designed SPECIFICALLY for you, so that you can reach your kettlebell goals as fast and safely as possible, CLICK HERE.
This is a short (but POWERFUL!) home-study course where you’ll discover three specific drills you can use to rapidly master the swing, clean, and snatch.

Since the we put KETTLEBELL GAINZ on sale a couple of days ago, I have gotten several emails asking for a sample workout from the program.
So, by popular demand, I will share one with you today.
KEEP IN MIND – the workout below is taken out of the full 6 week program, so it’s not going to be nearly as effective, done on its own, as a one-off training session.
I’ve also left out:
– The daily mobility / movement flow routine – The off – day HIIT workouts – The dynamic warm up, done before the main workout – The proper way to progress your workouts over the 6 week program – Coaching videos explaining how to do each exercise – Weight recommendations for each exercise, for both men and women
… and a few other things as well. I am doing this in fairness to all who make the commitment to the full 6 week program …
BUT – this sample workout should give you a great idea of what you’re getting yourself into!

Ready to get started?
Kettlebell GAINZ is on sale this week – but the sale ends in a few short days:
We had a group of personal training clients that I had worked with for about 18 months. Things were going along pretty well with their workouts. I was training them two or three times per week. They were maintaining a reasonable level of fitness, getting a little stronger and fitter each month, and feeling fine and healthy.
But there came a time where they wanted to do MORE. They wanted to shift gears on the training, and really focus on adding some muscle and strength. They wanted to push the envelope a bit more on the intensity. And they all knew they needed to dial in their nutrition.
So we did a six week “beta test.
The results were nothing short of amazing!
One participant improved his kettlebell pressing strength by 133%.
Another gained 5.5 pounds of muscle, while LOSING three pounds of body fat in the process!
I’ve decided to package up the exact training plan my beta testing group used to achieve such amazing result, and make it available to YOU to implement in your OWN training – at a fraction of the original cost. Learn more and get the program at the link below:
One of “finishers” we incorporated with this group was the one I show in today’s video. It helped to get that short cardio spike at the end of our strength sessions to help really feel like we left everything on the table for the day, PLUS it helped us practice our kettlebell snatch form in the process:
Kettlebell GAINZ is the definitive guide to gaining strength and muscle with kettlebells – while staying lean, athletic, and in great condition, at the same time!
People got some amazing results in our “beta” group, gaining up to 133% on their strength and adding up to 5.5 pounds of muscle in six weeks! Click here to learn more.
Here’s how it works:
— First thing to complete on signing up is the Kettlebell GAINZ baseline fitness testing. This is a series of simple kettlebell and bodyweight – based fitness “tests” you’ll take both at the beginning and end of the 6 week program. It’s a SPECIFIC and QUANTIFIABLE way to measure your progress!
— The Kettlebell GAINZ training plan is broken into weekly “lessons”. Each week builds on the previous, so you’ll consistently challenge yourself, and make measurable progress, throughout the program.
— This is one of – if not THE – most detailed training plan I’ve ever put together. In working with tens of thousands of customers and clients online over the last six years, I’ve learned what works – and what doesn’t! – when it comes to the most effective way to program and coach kettlebell workouts on the internet.
— For every kettlebell move in the program, I link to a video breaking how to do the exercise – so that you’ll know how to complete every move, with perfect form.
— This is a COMPLETE training plan – so in addition to the three-times-per-week kettlebell workouts, you also get a daily mobility routine, dynamic warm ups, HIIT routines to perform 2-3x per week to get even faster results, and MUCH more.
You’ll also get the “Athletic GAINZ” diet plan – the eating approach I personally have adopted – as well as my top clients have adopted as well – to achieve next-level fitness results … AND a copy of my “Kettlebell Training Basics” package – 18 ADDITIONAL weeks of kettlebell workouts – so that you will have workouts to use moving forward after the initial six week training is over.
So if you are looking to get strong, fast … while staying in top shape at the SAME TIME … Kettlebell GAINZ is for you:
