Training at its simplest - A Single Kettlebell Push/Pull Routine

You like to train every day? Or maybe 4 days a week? Or even if your week is looking unpredictable, this routine will keep you going. Designed to burn fat and get you stronger at the same time in 20 minutes per session. The routine is broken down into a PUSH session (Workout A) and PULL Session (Workout B). Alternate between the two. The best part is, you can do this every day, just keep alternating between the two sessions and keep posting your results.

WORKOUT A - PUSH SESSION

It consists of only 3 exercises to be performed one after the other.

Rep scheme depends on how many presses you can do with the weight you have.

• If you can do 3-6 presses with given weight - perform a ladder of (1,2) reps and work up to a ladder of (1,2,3)

• If you can do 7-8 presses with given weight - perform a ladder of (2,4) and work up to (3,5)

• If you can do around 10 presses with given weight - perform ladder of (2,3,5) or (4,6)

A1. Cheat clean and press or Clean and Press

A2. Racked Squat

A3: Push ups - use the same rep scheme for push ups as well on day 1. If it feels too easy, increase the difficulty by using any of the following options:

• Add a band to increase resistance

• Perform explosive or plyometric push ups

• Stick to 5 reps

• Perform double the number of presses
