Run Specific Kettlebell Workout – Are you stuck in isolation?

If you have had to self isolate for what ever reason or you have simply decided that the gym is not longer an environment you want to work out in – so long as you are fit and well this workout would be great for you….

All you need is a kettlebell (can be done with a dumbbell or suitable alternative – the cat, your kids is not suitable obviously!)

The 4 exercises

15 x Kettlebell swings

10 x Single leg deadlift – each leg

10 x Single leg deadrow – each side

10 x Clean and press with backward lunge

between each circuit mix it up with squat jumps / power lunges or hill reps or sprints – depending on your current situation.
