Good morning! How about we start off our work week with a killer workout?

This week, my online boot campers are getting complexes introduced into their workouts. Complexes are one of my favorite ways to take a regular workout, and turn it into a fat-burning metabolic strength session.

Complexes are awesome because a) they’re super fun and b) they focus on mobility, coordination, strength, and conditioning all at once.

To do a complex, you need one implement – it can even be your body weight – and a few moves. You only complete one rep of each movement, but you flow right into the next movement without putting the implement down.

My favorite method of doing complexes is to set a timer, and see how many rounds you can complete before the time’s up.

The complex I’m going to share with you today is a unilateral complex (meaning one sided) and uses a kettlebell. For this one, you’ll set a timer for 5:00, and complete as many rounds as you can of the complex one your right side only, resting as needed, at the bottom of the round. Then, once that timer goes off, re-set it, and switch hands.

As always, please check with your physician before beginning any new exercise program.

Kettlebell Complex Workout

The moves:

• Single Arm Kettlebell Snatch
• Single Arm Push Press (super old video…apologies!)
• Single Arm Overhead Press
• Offset Reverse Lunge
• Single Arm Swing

You could do this as a workout entirely on its own – or you could use it as an opener or a (somewhat long) finisher. Regardess, it’s guaranteed to smoke ya 😉

Have a fantastic Monday, friends!
