BEGINNER | NOSE TO THE GRINDSTONE

Today's workout, Nose to the Grindstone, isn’t flashy—and that’s the point. This workout is designed to instill foundational movement patterns and build muscle memory using light weights, kettlebells, and medicine balls. It’s slow, intentional, and scalable—with plenty of rest and room to grow. Make sure all your reps are quality ones - sloppiness can lead to injury. Grab your light weights, clear your head, and put your nose to the grindstone.

Equipment Needed

• Medicine Ball OR anything you can use to approximate it - basketball, etc.

REMINDER:

  • Soft count: 1, 2, 3, 4 ... this is when both (or all) limbs perform the exercise at the same time.
  • Hard count: 1,1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4...this is when only one limb does work at a time.
  • Each Side: Do all reps on one side before switching to complete all reps on the other side.
