Workout of the Day

- 30 V sit with medicine ball side to side ( 1 touch to the left and 1 touch to the right = 1)

- 30 kettle bell swings

- 30 thrusters (weights at shoulders with arms bent, squat all the way down into an air squat, at the top of your squat straighten your arms)

3 rounds.

This workout uses all the big muscle groups and works not only on strength but muscular endurance as well. If you push yourself hard during these exercises you will get your heart rate up there.
