In the back of my car is a bright purple jumper which has a “Kettlebell Kate” logo printed on it – a brilliant gift from the Motive8 team. To be honest, I haven’t worn it for a while, or actually used kettlebells for that matter. So that was my inspiration for this workout. The rounds listed below are 3 exercises for the same muscle groups using kettlebells – hence the kettlebell tri set workout!
As always with my type of workouts, you can perform this in multiple ways – reps or timed. If you want to do it for reps, I would suggest doing each exercise like a pyramid so for example the legs round would be squat & press 6 reps, squat & upright row 6 reps and squat jumps 6 reps, then I’d repeat for 8 reps, 10 reps, 12 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps – that’ll do nicely! If you’re doing it timed, I’d be tempted to do each exercise for a minimum of 45 seconds with no rest between them – don’t make it too easy for yourself!
You don’t of course have to do all these tri sets as a workout – you can simply add some in to your existing routine. If I’m honest, this is not a total body workout so if you’re after a total body workout, then ask one of the personal trainers at motive8 for some other exercies.
