 Warmup with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a single kettlebell training session.  Once you start, the bell doesn't hit the floor until you have completed the whole training session.  Pick three movements and just keep going.. Complete all 3 movements of 10 reps on the left arm before switching to the right arm..  Get after it.. 

Remember once you start, the kettlebell stays in motion.. If you have to put it down, take a 5 burpee penalty..

Warm up with joint mobility, dynamic movement, and foam roller.  Today we are going to hit a slow controlled series of movements that hits the whole body.  Turkish get ups.  We're going to keep it super simple.  Just set the timer and go. One suggestion, try and do multiple reps with the same arm.  This will help stability, strength, stamina and mobility in the shoulders.

Your call on time.. 10-15-20 minutes.. Its up to you..
Use an appropriate weight for multiple reps for an extended period of time.

1500 M row or 1 mile run for a bit of extra conditioning.

Warm up with joint mobility and dynamic movement.  Today is a simple workout.  Just one exercise, done for time.  Turkish get ups.  TGUs area great full body progression.  As you can see from the photos below, your entire body is working to get from your back to a standing position as well as when you return to the floor.  This is truly taxing workout.  Set the clock for 15 minutes and hit it..  Follow that up with a one mile jog, and then call it a day..
