This is a top 10 Pro Performance workout. The kettlebell weight you choose will determine the intensity of the workout. Choose a heavy kettlebell weight and perform the squats with the same weight.

The exercises have been combined in a way that this can be done easily. We us a buzzer for this workout. The buzzer sounds and you begin the workout. When the buzzer sounds after 30 seconds, you transition to the 2nd exercise. When it sounds the 3rd time, you will rest for 30seconds. Continue to the next series when the buzzer sounds. Perform 4 rounds. This will be a 30 minute workout.
