How to Perform the Kettlebell Progressive Circuit
By this time, you should be familiar with all the basic moves we will be doing. If you are not familiar with any of the movements in this workout, ask a coach.
We always recommended you warm-up prior to strenuous exercise. Before you begin this workout, you should perform some dynamic stretching, and/or 5 to 10 minutes of light cardio.
The Workout
Grab one or two kettlebells for this workout. You may want a heavier KB for the Deadlift, Squats and Swings. The idea is to work with a weight that is a challenge, but allow you to maintain proper form. There is no time element for this workout.
