Kettlebell-TRX Gets Real

As the person new to class, Ari had been warning me for the past two weeks that today things would start getting real and we'd keep that up for the last six weeks. What might this mean? I was apprehensive to find out.

Today's workout was Kettlebell-TRX-Rope-TRX circuit. One minute per exercise, ten seconds to switch stations, and maybe a minute in between sets.

Set 1: kettlebell thrusters, TRX rows, vertical battling ropes, TRX rollouts
Set 2: double-kettlebell swings, TRX alternating pistol squats, horizontal battling ropes, TRX supine hip extensions
Set 3: alternating Turkish getups, TRX alligators, two-handed vertical rope, TRX corkscrews
Set 4: kettlebell V-ups into Russian twists, TRX tricep skullcrushers, side-to-side rope waves, TRX muscleups
Set 5: double kettlebell cleans, TRX bicep curls, battling ropes while in V-sit, TRX vertical pushups
Set 6: single-kettlebell swing, TRX alternating T-pull and Y-pull, side plank with battling rope, TRX one-handed rows with twist

I swear there was a seventh set, but I can't for the life of me recall the exercises. At any given moment, class looked something like this.

We cashed out walking kettlebell swings up and back the length of the room and one minute of four-point plank. Two sets. Everyone else was doing three-point planks. Egads.
