THE SETUP<br />

Set the clock for 20 minutes and complete AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) of 20 kettlebell split squats (10 per leg), 20 kettlebell halos,<br />

and 20 kettlebell gorilla rows (10 per side). Rest only as needed between reps and sets, and track how many total cycles you completed in 20<br />

minutes. Scale the kettlebell weight to your ability level and focus on chasing quality reps throughout the workout.<br />

Kettlebell<br />

Bulgarian Split<br />

Squats<br />

Assume a staggered<br />

stance with the rear<br />

foot elevated and<br />

front foot forward<br />

pushing through the<br />

heel. Hold a kettlebell<br />

in each hand or<br />

go bodyweight only<br />

depending on your<br />

ability level. Start by<br />

slowly descending,<br />

dropping your knee<br />

and hip to lower your<br />

body down to the<br />

floor then returning to<br />

your starting position.<br />

Kettlebell Halos<br />

Hold the kettlebell<br />

upside down by the<br />

horns. The kettlebell<br />

should start in front<br />

of your face and as<br />

you rotate be turned<br />

180 degrees at the<br />

back of the neck.<br />

You can choose<br />

to either perform one<br />

direction for a set<br />

time or number of<br />

repetitions before<br />

changing direction;<br />

this creates a better<br />

flow. You can also<br />

change direction<br />

after every rep.<br />

Kettlebell<br />

Gorilla Rows<br />

Stand with your feet<br />

about shoulder-width<br />

apart with two kettlebells<br />

between. Hinge<br />

at the hips until you’re<br />

able to grab both<br />

handles of the kettlebells.<br />

This should put<br />

you in a good starting<br />

position. Begin by<br />

rowing one of the kettlebells<br />

through your<br />

full range of motion.<br />

Return the kettlebell<br />

back to the ground<br />

and repeat on the<br />

other side. Keep your<br />

back flat and head in<br />

a neutral position.<br />
