February 07 – Strength and Conditioning for Winter Sports: Arms, Obliques and Lunges | Becca | 30 mins

This workout consists of a mobility warmup followed by a circuit that focuses on the muscle groups used in winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, etc. I completed two rounds in 30 min.

Equipment: Light hand weights or canned food/water bottles, a light kettlebell (I am using 15 lbs), a medium kettlebell (I am using 25 lbs). You don’t need all the weights, but it is helpful to have different kettlebells depending on your strength-building needs.
