Basic Benchmarks Workout

This week's workout incorporates six exercises that I consider "basic benchmarks" for your fitness and strength level. Four of them utilize a kettlebell, and the other two are bodyweight exercises (although you can weigh yourself down with a kettlebell for pull ups if you really want to!). The goal for this workout isn't to crush yourself - the goal is to have perfect form and really hone each movement. The rep ranges are low so you can focus on quality of movement. Doing less repetitions doesn't necessarily mean you're not getting as good of a workout, especially if you do each repetition with intention. 

Think of this like a practice session. Take your time with each movement. Breathe. Rest in between sets as needed. Building skills takes time.

(PS - if the assisted pistol squat is too challenging with a kettlebell, just work without one!)
