BEGINNER | THUNDERSTRIKE

This week's Beginner workout uses some simple movements to create a powerful workout in just 35-minutes. You should be able to get it done in record time - just crank the music first! This workout can be accomplished either at the gym or as a home workout.

Modifications are included where noted.

Equipment Needed

Workout Timer - a WOD Timer or just your phone timer is fine for this workout.

Resistance Band

• Kettlebell OR Dumbbell - Use what you have. If you have two light dumbbells, you can use both by gripping them together with both hands for more weight.

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.
