How To Perform The Swings, Crawls and Squats Workout:
Position two kettlebells approx. 50 feet from each other. Ladies try a 10KG kettlebell and Men start with a 16KG kettlebell. These are just general recommendations, but scale up or down a kettlebell size depending on your fitness level. I am swinging a 16KG kettlebell and squatting a 20KG kettlebell for demonstration purposes.
Do 10 kettlebell swings at the first location
Immediately bear crawl to your other kettlebell and perform 5 goblet squats. Here’s a brief bear crawl tutorial to dial you in to the movement pattern to position you for success.
Walk back to the first kettlebell as this will be your active recovery before doing the next round
These three exercises performed one right after the other is considered a round.
Set the clock for 10 minutes and see how many quality rounds you can perform.

Tips And Guidelines
Police your training area to make sure your lanes are free of obstructions, sharp objects, gopher holes, divots, playing kids or animals. You are swinging some heavy metal around, so make sure bystanders, pets and loved ones are out of your training zone.
Do a brief and meaningful total body warmup before diving in to your training sessions.
Rest as much as you need between rounds, but do keep it challenging and don’t lollygag too long. Try a 1 minute rest and see how you feel as you can always increase or decrease the rest period depending on your fitness level and how you’re feeling that day.
So give this workout a shot as it fits right into my philosophy of performing Maximum Exercise in Minimal Time that produce Stellar Results as you accelerate to your ideal body composition and fitness foundation.
