Lauren’s workouts are always user-friendly, safe, and effective for all levels. Users can work out with just a kettlebell and get a full workout or they can take the challenge and use two kettlebells, add weight, use a barbell, or a sandbag. Workouts include a variety of kettlebell and bodyweight exercises expertly crafted to create a full body challenge. All the workouts are instructed by Lauren and are led by three other members who demonstrate a variety of adjustments and implements.

What We Like About This Program

We used this program for six weeks on a rotation of 3 days on, 1 day off for workouts and rest days. The program is scalable, but very effective when used as a consistent training plan. The workouts are easily interchanged, and you can perform a variety of exercise modifications to increase or decrease the challenge. For example, Lauren teaches the single leg deadlift, but provides modifications and challenges to include one kettlebell, two kettlebells, or a modified single leg deadlift. Push ups are demonstrated in a traditional strict push up, a more advanced push up with one leg lifted, push ups on a box, and for a potent challenge, a weighted push up with a sandbag.

The program includes three full body workouts and a fast and intense snatch workout that you can add to any workout for an extra burn. To complete these workouts, you only need a kettlebell set and a pull up bar, but if you wish to use the full program for maximum results you should have access to the following:

Equipment:

• Kettlebell Set
• Pull Up Bar
• Barbell and Plates
• Bands
• Sandbag
• Suspension Trainer
• Box
• Skateboard
