Scaling:
In today’s workout, there is no reason to stop. You will be moving constantly for 8 minutes. The loading of both the kettlebell and the medicine ball should allow you to perform unbroken reps throughout the entire workout. Come out fast and hang on. Remember, even though you are trying to move quickly, don’t cut the range of motion short on either movement. If you feel like you are out of control, slow down and dial in your technique before trying to speed back up.

Coaching cues:
As you transition the kettlebell from a swing to the overhead position, loosen up your grip, punch the hand to the sky, and the thumb should finish pointing behind you. This transition is quick and the kettlebell should swing into position against the back of your forearm.
