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 Swing – High Pull – Snatch Finisher
Do 10 rounds per side of:
– 3 one arm swings
– 2 high pulls
– 1 snatch
Kettlebell Snatch – Burpee – Squat Finisher

Today, I have a 50 Rep Kettlebell Snatch + Burpee Challenge for you to try.
You’ll need one kettlebell for this one. If you want to do the prescribed weight, it’ll be 16k for the ladies, 24k for the guys. However, if you’re just getting into things, or if you don’t have these exact weights available, it’s all good, you’ll still get a great workout.
Also, you want you to make sure you have a solid grasp of kettlebell snatch technique before attempting this one. You’re going to be pushing yourself hard, so your form can get sloppy very fast if you’re not careful.
Here’s how the Challenge works:
– Set your timer to go off every minute, on the minute.
– Get to 50 kettlebell snatches total, any way you can.
– At the top of every minute, stop and do 5 burpees.
That’s it. If you can do this one in five minutes or less, you’re a fire breather!
Enjoy. Let me know how you do.
And if you want more extensive, personalized kettlebell instruction from me, also be sure to check out my “KB Fit Over 40” program. I’ve opened a handful of slots this week, and still have a few more I am still looking to fill -> https://bit.ly/kbfitover40forest

Check out this video from my friend Jonathan Haas. He goes through his entire daily mobility routine. This is a daily practice that will only reward you more and more with each passing year. Implement this first thing tomorrow morning, and feel amazing all day long!
And if you like it, be sure to check out Jonathan’s full “Shadow Strength” course.
It is primarily for men and women in their 40s and above who are noticing their strength and flexibility decreasing as they get older.
The techniques revealed in this program are also designed to help you get stronger without doing exercises that put your body under a lot of stress:
=> “Shadow Strength” – 17 Min Strength / Mobility Workout Program
There is no weight-training involved.
There’s no cardio or circuit training either.
In other words, it’s perfect if you’re noticing you can no longer recover from intense workouts like you could when you were younger.
Plus, it’s also a great program for helping to reduce the number of injuries you pick up.
