Thu, 27 August 2026
36 minutes, plus 5 minutes with Straight-Sets Control
hinge strength, pulling control and trunk stability
Kettlebell, with dumbbell and bodyweight options, plus mat if needed
Warm-Up — Smooth Start
Duration: 9 minutes.
Scheme: 1-2 relaxed rounds, moving continuously.
Instructions: Move through all five drills with smooth range and easy breathing. Treat this as rehearsal, not effort, and let each rep prepare the hips, shoulders and trunk for steady work.
Strength Circuit
Time: 20 minutes.
Format: Circuit
Scheme: 4 rounds: 60s work / 15s rest.
Instructions: Complete four rounds through the circuit. Rest 15 seconds after every station. Use a load that stays smooth for the full minute, and keep every rep crisp rather than rushed.
Beginner Level
Do 3 circuit rounds instead of 4, 2 flow rounds instead of 3, and 1 set each in the challenge. Reduce the load or use bodyweight where needed. If form slips, skip the challenge first.
Intermediate / Advanced Options
Option 1: Add a fifth round to the main circuit.
Option 2: Take the challenge to 3 sets each.
Option 3: Use a slightly heavier kettlebell for the deadlifts only.
Mobility Flow
Straight-Sets Control
Complete the standard workout first. Add this challenge only if you still feel strong and your technique remains solid.
Approx. 5 minutes.
Format: Straight sets
Scheme: 2 sets each, alternating exercises, with 45s rest between sets.
Instructions: Alternate the two movements for two sets each. Rest 45 seconds between sets. Keep the reps clean, leave a little in reserve, and prioritise posture over pace.
Cool-Down — Settle Down
Duration: 4 minutes.
Scheme: One easy pass through all four holds.
Instructions: Slow right down here. Breathe through the nose where you can, soften the ribs, and let each position settle instead of chasing extra range.
Focus & Benefits
Builds lower-body strength, upper-back control and trunk stability through hinging, lunging, pulling and anti-extension work. The circuit format gives you repeat practice without rushing, while the short flow and cooldown help you finish feeling looser and more organised.
Pro Tip: On the reverse lunge, exhale as you stand and think about zipping the front of the torso together. That small brace keeps the movement steady and leaves your lower back fresher for the hinge work.
