Man Does Dumbbell Snatch Exercise

Skipped a workout this week? Or maybe you’re feeling like your regular routine just isn’t cutting it when it comes to giving you a challenge? Either way, this high-intensity routine is your solution.

This high-intensity workout may only be 15 minutes long, but—if properly attacked—it’ll leave you drenched in sweat and on your way to building strong, lean muscle. Start off with single-arm kettlebell thrusters, which are surprisingly difficult and require a ton of endurance. Sumo squats will hit your legs hard, and likely from a different angle than you’re used to hitting. Finish that out with some classic pushups—make sure your form stays perfect—and it’s on to the next round.

Directions

You’ll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Repeat the entire circuit as many times as you can for 15 minutes.

Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest periods between circuits. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
