🏋️♂️ SINGLE KETTLEBELL METCON
A short, powerful METCON that hits your swings, your lungs, and your grit.
A great short but sweet workout that delivers. The rep range and rest ratio are perfectly balanced, so you can give those swings the power they deserve.
It finishes with a 4-minute AMRAP of dead start half snatches — a solid finisher that ties everything together.
