- Kettlebell Romanian Deadlifts: Hinge at the hips for Romanian deadlifts, targeting your hamstrings and lower back.
- Kettlebell Swings: Propel into kettlebell swings for a dynamic posterior chain exercise that enhances your explosive power.
- Push-ups: Drop down for push-ups, a classic yet effective way to strengthen your chest, shoulders, and triceps.
- Kettlebell Bent Over Rows: Pull the kettlebell in a bent-over row to focus on your upper back and biceps.
- V-Ups: Finish the circuit with V-Ups for an intense core workout that challenges your abdominal endurance.
Between Each Round
To keep the intensity high and ensure you’re maximizing your workout, perform these exercises between each circuit round:
- Jump Squats – 20: Boost your heart rate and lower body strength with explosive jump squats.
- Side Plank Dips – 20 (each side): Target your obliques and stabilize your core with side plank dips, ensuring balanced core strength.
