WORKOUT
Grounded Power Thursday
Thu, 17 September 2026
Approx 40 minutes with optional extra complex
single-leg strength, hinge control and trunk stability
Kettlebell, with dumbbell and bodyweight options, plus mat if needed
Warm-Up — Smooth Start
Duration: 10 minutes.
Scheme: 2 rounds of 4 moves, smooth continuous reps with brief transitions.
Instructions: Move through two easy rounds in order. Keep transitions short, breathe steadily, and make each rep a rehearsal for the positions you want later.
Strength Control Sets
Approx. 19 minutes.
Format: Straight sets
Instructions: 3 rounds of 5 exercises. Complete the exercises in a controlled manor with rest as needed between rounds.
Beginner Level
Do 2 rounds instead of 3 in the main, and 2 rounds instead of 3 in the finisher (Trunk Tune-up). Reduce the load or use bodyweight for the split squat and deadlift, and elevate push-ups if needed. Skip the challenge first.
Intermediate / Advanced Options
Option 1: Add a fourth round to the main section.
Option 2: Make the finisher (Trunk Tune-up) 4 rounds instead of 3.
Option 3: Use a slightly heavier load on deadlifts only if your shape stays tidy.
Trunk Tune-Up
Time: 3 minutes.
Format: Circuit
Scheme: 3 rounds of 20s work / 10s rest.
Instructions: Work 20 seconds on the first move, rest 10 seconds, then 20 seconds on the second move, rest 10 seconds. Repeat for three rounds. Keep the pace measured and the body shapes sharp.
Optional Challenge - Strength & Control Complex
Complete the standard workout first. Add this challenge only if you still feel strong and your technique remains solid.
Duration: 4 minutes.
Format: Quality AMRAP
Cool-Down — Long Exhale Ease
Duration: 5 minutes.
Scheme: Accumulate the full holds with calm breathing.
Instructions: Settle the breathing and let the stretches unfold gently. Ease into each hold and use slow exhales to relax the shoulders, hips and back.
Focus & Benefits
Builds single-leg strength, hinge strength, horizontal pulling control and anti-extension trunk stability through deadlifts, split squats, rows and push-up patterns. The straight-set structure gives you repeatable quality practice without rushing. The short closing pieces add extra control and mobility under manageable fatigue.
Pro Tip: Today is about keeping the body organised rep after rep. If your ribs stay stacked and your feet stay rooted, stability turns into strength very quickly.
