First workout done! Had to sub in Hammer Kettlebells as the regular ones at home were too heavy after a very long break from working out. Heart pumping and sweating. Looking forward to the next one.

Nice swear with this one. First round challenging without any rest but felt good.

Bastien

15-20 min Full-Body 🔥

Great pace for a beginner. Easy to follow.

Brian

First workout for for me. Great set. This will be great for me. Videos played out differently to what I was expecting where i thought it would be a bit more automatic with the videos changing. Will figure it out!

Matt

Single kettlebell: Beginner, 20-Minute Full-Body (no swings!)

Quick and efficient. Made my heart pump and had me sweating more than expecting. Very good workout when short on time.

Juan

Seems easy, but it’s difficult. I usually do: thruster left, then immediately do the right, then rows on the left and immediately do the right. Then push up’s, right, left. End with curls, reverse lunge. Mash the timer.

Bruno

15 Minute Full-Body

3 rounds
- thrusters 5/side 
- rows 10/side 
- Offset pushup/shoulder tap, 10/side
- reverse lunge/bicep curls, 10-12

Great workout! Love how challenging the first coordination and balance move is. Took a few reps in to really engage it.
