Structural Workouts aren’t always easy. Try this one for size…

Most athletes like either power or strength, but can get bored with structural or recovery workouts. However, all structural or recovery workouts don’t have to be easy or boring. In fact, there is time to go super hard in the gym and there is a time to back off and focus on structural recovery work to set you up for success.
There are many ways to help your body recover or align itself. Today, was a perfect example how to use KB’s to structurally help your body. This is a great workout to help align your body.
On all of the walks in this workout,they need to be slow and controlled with perfect form. If you are having trouble keeping your arms straight with the overhead movements, you need to drop the weight and don’t let your ego get involved.
On this workout, I would recommend using kettlebells between 20# and 45# (either kettlebells or dumbells). Also, you need to complete the entire complex without setting the kettlebells down.
All carries are 40m in length. Between dumbells and kettlebells, kettlebells will be more challenging with the rack holds the way they sit on your chest. You will have to breath from your stomach with kettlebells.
On this workout, after the carries I threw in some good core work with the TGU and ring plank. During the ring plank make sure your feet are the same height or higher than your hands….it’s adds to the intensity.
This workout can be used to split up your week, as an am workout to set you up for a hard pm workout, or as great recovery workout alone. Have fun with it, and let me know what you think.
