Complexes are workouts that include two or more exercises using the same piece of equipment. In this case we will use a Kettlebell. In all complexes, there is one exercise called the ‘limiting exercise,’ and this will be the movement that determines the weight you choose. For the following complex, it will most likely be the Push Press.

What you need for this Kettlebell Complex:

• 1 set of kettlebells, start 8kg/12kg for women and 16/20 kg for men.
• Timer set for 10 or 15 minutes

Note: Be sure to have a full body warm up before starting the complex.

The first two exercises are unilateral (one side at a time). Do both on one side BEFORE going on to the next and then finish off with the last.

Each exercise is to be done for 10 reps, and will look something like this:

• 10x Kettlebell Clean – Right Side
• 10x Kettlebell Push Press – Right Side
• 10x Goblet Squat
• Rest at least 30 Seconds

• 10x Kettlebell Clean – Left Side
• 10x Kettlebell Push Press – Left Side
• 10x Goblet Squat
• Rest at least 30 Seconds

Start again with right side!
