A 20 minute EMOM WOD including warmup... Every Monday we work on a 30 minute kettlebell session. I rotate the workouts approx every 5 or 6 weeks.
You'll need a lighter kettlebell to warmup with and a slightly heavier work kettlebell. If you dont have a lighter bell for a warmup, i recommend simply using a youtube 5 minute bodyweight warmup.
This program practices ten rounds of different 'swing' techniques with ten rounds of back and chest work set in.
Warmup (approx 5 minutes) - flowing from one movement to the next with a minimal or no break. Do this sequence once or twice until warm. This phase takes about 5 minutes.
20 halos
10 single arm swings each side
10 American swings
10 deep squat to forward fold stretch
10 goblet/air squats
5 windmills each side

This session blends grip-heavy swing work with an opposing push-pull ladder that gradually shifts the emphasis from pulling strength to pressing endurance. Choose a kettlebell that allows you to stay crisp on swings and composed on the later strength minutes. Scale press-ups or reduce swing reps slightly if needed, but aim to stay inside each minute. Cool Down
Stretching and calm breath work to bring the heart rate down.
