Description of workout:

KBs power, steps, swings.

Double snatches with KBs X10

Weighted step ups for time (2-2:30)

Club swings to back pack X20-30 reps

Run it 3X to start-you can finish in under 20 mins

These movements will condition the lower body muscles while also driving your heart rate up. It is recommended to definitely wear a heart rate monitor if you have one. Combining workouts such as these with traditional strength workouts are a great way to lose weight. I think of the process in the sense that I am trying to build my engine with the strength days and then at least once a week I need to run the engine. As the muscles get stronger and the heart becomes more conditioned, we can add volume to a basic workout such as this.
