This program is designed to be modular in format and can be adapted to different needs. For example, if you have heavier kettlebells or dumbbells, it can be done for low reps to target strength improvements. If you have lighter weights or want to target conditioning, you can do higher reps with less rest. In terms of equipment, it can be done with 1 or 2 kettlebells or it can be done with 1 or 2 dumbbells.

Workout 1

All of the movements in the above workout are performed with 1 kettlebell or dumbbell.

Strength option – if you have a heavy kettlebell/dumbbell or 2 kettlebells dumbbells you can do this workout for 3-4 rounds with as much rest as you need between rounds.

Conditioning option – if you have a lighter kettlebell/dumbbell and you want to work on conditioning, you can increase the reps for each movement and the rounds to 5 and try to perform it as fast as you can.

Alternatively, you can do it as an AMRAP (anywhere between 20 – 30 minutes).

Workout 2

Program setup

As you can see there are 6 workouts in this program. You can decide when to do these workouts based on your training schedule.

For example, you could do 3 times per week as follows:

Monday – workout 1
Wednesday – workout 2
Friday – workout 3
Monday – workout 4
Wednesday – workout 5
Friday – workout 6

If you do 4 times per week it would be:

Monday – workout 1
Tuesday – workout 2
Thursday – workout 3
Friday – workout 4
Monday – workout 5
Tuesday – workout 6

So, what happens when you complete the 6 workouts? Simple, you repeat them! However, you need to add some progression from the previous workout. There are several ways you can progress each workout:

Load – increase the weight on each movement (only valid if you have the extra dumbbells/kettlebells.

Reps – add 1-2 reps per movement from the previous workout

Rounds – add 1 round from the previous workout

Rest periods – decrease the rest periods between movements from the previous workout

Total time – decrease the total amount of time for the entire workout from the previous session

Increase time/reps – if you performed the session as an AMRAP, try to either increase the time from the previous session. Alternatively, do the same time but increase the total number of reps.

Please note that you only need to pick 1 or maybe 2 of the above progressions for each workout. Don’t try to do them all! You can keep doing these workouts for 4-6 weeks or when progress stops (ie you are no longer to add reps, rounds etc etc).

Hopefully the lockdown will be over at the end of November, but we will put out a new program in 1 month if necessary.
