Hi everyone,
This workout was a killer! You all know how much I love/hate (term meaning GREAT workout) Couplets, and it’s been a while since I posted a workout like this, so today’s will jog the memory as to why we love/hate them 🙂
The twist with this one is the “Bonus” Complex right at the very end. Â Just when you think the torture is over, then we have a little strength section.
The Workout
Set your Gymboss Interval Timer for 6 cycles of 15 seconds rest and 45 seconds effort and complete 3 rounds of each Couplet before having a longer recovery and moving on to the next Couplet etc etc. Oh and be prepare for all the burpees 😉
Couplet 1
- Suitcase Deadlift Burpee (2x20kg) (13, 12, 10)
- Side to Side Step Ups (first round BW, then I added a 6kg KB) (47, 44, 43)
Couplet 2
- Alternating Single-Leg Hip Thrust (17, 16, 17)
- Bent Over Alternating Row (20kg) (18, 16, 15)
Couplet 3 (Hell)
- Two-Handed KB Swing (24kg) (30, 30, 28 )
- Burpees (13, 12, 10)
Couplet 4
- Alternating High Deficit Reverse Lunge (16kg) (17, 14, 15)
- Vertical Swing/Pull Burpee (20kg) (12, 10.5, 12)
BONUS Complex
Complete 3 rounds of the following combination:
- Kettlebell Clean and Press (right) x 5 reps
- Kettlebell Clean and Press (left) x 5 reps
- Pull Ups x 5 reps
If you cannot complete 5 reps in a row, then break it down into smaller “sets” 🙂
Have fun!
Cheers
Marianne
