Round 1: 1 Hand Swing to 1 KB Clean to 1 KB Overhead Press. Stay on the same side for half of your work time before switching hands. 

Round 2: Side Lunge to Clean to Front Squat to Figure 8 to Hold. The figure 8 will naturally take the bell to the opposite hand. Repeat on the opposite, and allow the figure to continuously switch sides throughout your work time.

Round 3: 1 KB Dead Clean to 1 Leg Deadlift to Step Back. Just like the round before, the step back will switch sides for you. Just continue to work side to side throughout the work time.

 

Day 6 and 7: Active Rest

These days can be implemented any time during the week. If your body is telling you to rest, listen to it! But remember the motto of No Days Off Fitness: Move Every Day. If you can, find another activity you enjoy doing and supplement that in on these days. Hiking, Yoga, biking; the list goes on!
