Designed to test your strength, endurance, and agility, this WOD packs a punch—literally! Whether you’re just starting out or a seasoned fitness enthusiast, this workout offers scalable intensity for every level.
What to Expect in Kettle Hell 3
This AMRAP session challenges you to complete as many rounds as you can within a set time frame, pushing your stamina and mental toughness. Every exercise targets different muscle groups, keeping your body guessing and torching calories. Plus, the fast pace keeps things exciting, with minimal downtime between movements.
Workout breakdown:
- 25 Overhead Walking Lunges
These lunges not only target your quads, hamstrings, and glutes but also engage your core as you balance the weight overhead. Use a kettlebell or a dumbbell, and step with control. - 25 High Knees
A quick cardio blast! Drive those knees up to hip level for maximum calorie burn. This move gets your heart rate up and serves as an active recovery. - 25 Front Kicks (Single Count)
Kick your way through this dynamic movement. Not only do these front kicks work your legs, but they also improve flexibility and coordination. - 25 Reverse Crunches into Sit-Ups
Get ready to fire up your abs! Start with a reverse crunch to engage your lower core, then flow into a full sit-up to complete the move. It’s a core blaster that leaves no muscle untouched. - 25 Goblet Squats
A lower-body powerhouse! Hold a kettlebell or dumbbell close to your chest and squat deep, making sure to engage your glutes and keep your back straight. - 25 Power Punches (Single Count)
Channel your inner boxer with this high-energy movement. Each punch should be fast and powerful, engaging your arms, shoulders, and core. - 25 Overhead Tricep Extensions
Finish strong with overhead tricep extensions to burn out those arms. Keep the movement controlled, and don’t forget to breathe!
Modifications for Every Fitness Level
One of the best parts about the GRIT program is that we welcome all fitness levels, and Kettle Hell 3 is no different. Whether you’re at home or in our Santa Clara facility, here are some modifications you can make:
- Overhead Walking Lunges: If overhead weight is too challenging, start with bodyweight lunges.
- High Knees: Keep it low impact by marching in place if jumping isn’t an option.
- Front Kicks: Adjust the height of your kicks depending on flexibility and mobility.
- Reverse Crunch into Sit Up: Keep it simple with just reverse crunches or sit-ups if doing both is too advanced.
- Goblet Squats: Bodyweight squats work well if holding a weight isn’t comfortable yet.
- Power Punches: No need for gloves here! If you’re new, slow down the punches and focus on form.
- Overhead Tricep Extensions: Use lighter weights or resistance bands to ease the load.
Maximize Your Workout Results
To get the most out of Kettle Hell 3, here are a few tips:
- Warm Up: Start with 5-10 minutes of dynamic stretching or light cardio. Get those muscles primed and ready for action!
- Form is Key: It’s tempting to rush through the exercises in an AMRAP, but maintaining proper form ensures you’re working the right muscles and avoiding injury.
- Hydrate: Keep water nearby to stay hydrated throughout the session.
- Rest When Needed: This workout is intense, so listen to your body. If you need to take a quick breather, that’s okay—just jump back in when you’re ready.
- Track Your Progress: Count your rounds and aim to beat your score next time. It’s a great way to stay motivated and see your improvements over time.
