Lower Body Kettlebell Strength Circuit

Tonight, I designed the following circuit for my client, focusing on lower body. On Monday night (upper body strength), she learned 3/4 of the Turkish Getup. Tonight, she learned the remainder of the Turkish Getup and performed a few reps per side for her warm-up. Truly an incredible performance by my stellar client! Here's what we did. Give it a shot, using the following guidelines: Beginner: Perform 3 rounds. 90sec rest in between each round, 30 sec rest in between each exercise. Intermediate: Perform 4 rounds. 60 sec rest in between each round, 30 sec rest in between each exercise. Increase weight as appropriate. Advanced: Perform 5 rounds. 45 sec rest in between each round, 20 sec rest in between each exercise. Increase weight as appropriate.
