Prevent body chafing
I had 20 minutes for a workout. Here’s what I did.
On Wednesday, I had 20 minutes before I had to give the kids’ lunch.
Not enough time for the gym.
Barely enough time for a warm-up.
So I grabbed my kettlebell and went outside.
Set a timer.
And in 18 minutes I hit every major muscle group (using my 71 pounder):
1 hand alternating swing: 2 sets of 20 reps
Goblet lunges: 2 sets of 6-8 reps
1 hand rows: 2 sets of 8-10 reps
KB offset push-ups: 2 sets of 15-20 reps
Farmer’s carry: 2 sets of 45 second carries
The structure is simple.
Pick one movement from each of the five categories.
Hinge: swings, deadlifts, etc…
Squat: goblet squat, lunges, etc…
Pull: rows, pull-ups, cleans, snatches, etc…
Push: push-up, press, bench, etc…
Carry: farmer’s carry, get-up, etc…
Then run it like this:
2 sets of every movement
Pick your rep range (5-20)
And get to work.
If you’re ever squeezed for time, try this structure.
Enjoy!
