My intensive small group participants are really starting to have fun with their workouts - and just as exciting you can really see the healthy changes happening almost right before your eyes. They've all lost between 3-8 pounds each or more without any super drastic changes to their diets - mindful portions and avoiding junk food. Nothing extreme.
So tonight was a make up session for the Monday which was rained out - the weather again looked bad so we made plans to check out the courtyard if we needed to - thing was, we wanted to be sure not to cause any property damage (one of the participants is employed by the property!!) or other problems. I came up with a challenge workout that would have options for non-ballistic movements if necessary, and that would mostly keep us up off the ground.
Do 4 Rounds of the following in your best time:
- 20 Swings OR 20 Burpees
- 20 Presses (10 per side - if you are uncomfortable cleaning the kb, use the special deadlift + one hand over the other method of getting the kettlebell into the rack position)
- 20 1-leg deadlifts (10 per side)
- 20 Push Ups
- 20 Squats with Upright Row (2 distinct movements)
- 25 Russian Twists (right side left side = 1)
