STIMULUS
- Overview: We're alternating between double unders and a kettlebell movement in this 12-minute AMRAP, adding 10 reps to each round as we progress. Reps will add up quickly, so don't start at too fast of a pace in the first two rounds.
- Kettlebell Swings: Start with the kettlebell between your legs. Using your hips as the power source, swing the kettlebell overhead until it is directly over your ears, shoulders, hips, and ankles. Your arms should be straight and extended at the top of your rep. Choose a loading that allows for at least 10 unbroken reps at a time.
- Kettlebell Goblet Lunges: Hold one kettlebell at your chest in the goblet position. Step back and alternate legs every rep. Choose a loading that allows for at least 10 unbroken reps at a time.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 6-7
- Target Loading: Light-Moderate
- Fitness Attribute Improved: Aerobic Power [Lactate Threshold]
- Target Score: 4-5 Rounds
STRATEGY
- Transition in and out of the double unders as quickly and efficiently as possible. No need to waste time here.
- If you need a break or rest, take it just before starting your kettlebell movements or rest as needed during each of those movements.
