    WORKOUT SETUP

    • 4 exercises
    • 1 minute each
    • 4 rounds
    • 1-minute rest between rounds
    • 20 minutes total 
    • Equipment: Dumbbells & sandbag

    WORKOUT EXERCISE LIST

    4 rounds

    1 – Dumbbell hang power clean

    1 minute

    • Grab two dumbbells and rest them over your shoulder.
    • Engage the core and maintain your back straight. That’s your starting position.
    • Deadlift the dumbbells between your legs into a hang position.
    • Then, extend your hips and legs quickly, returning to the start position.
    • Repeat.

    2 – Burpees

    1 minute

    • Start in a standing position and engage the core.
    • Begin the movement by quickly bending down, reaching the hands towards the floor in front of the feet.
    • As you do this, simultaneously jump, bring your legs back and land on the floor in a push-up position.
    • Perform a push-up and, on the way up, drive the hips up rapidly and jump into a squat position.
    • Return to upright and repeat.

    3 – Kettlebell swing

    1 minute

    • Hold the kettlebell with both hands.
    • Hinge the hips to initiate the swing movement. 
    • Rapidly drive hip extension to swing the kettlebell upwards. 
    • Control your swing descent with a hip hinge by swinging the kettlebell between your legs. 
    • Repeat.

    4 – Weighted crunch with sandbag

    1 minute

    • Look for soft ground and set yourself up, lying down with your face towards the ceiling. 
    • As the instructional video indicates, have your legs up and hold a sandbag in your hands. 
    • Now slightly roll your upper body up while pointing the sandbag towards the ceiling. 
    • The motion is relatively short, yet quite demanding. Hold at the top for a moment. 
    • Now slowly return to the starting position.
