Yesterday, I shared a sample workout that I’d call a solid “medium day” inside the 28-Day Spartan Sprint.

Today, I want to show you what a “hard day” looks like.

Inside the Spartan Sprint, we’re doing short, intense kettlebell workouts most days — usually around 15 minutes. When you stack that kind of work consistently, it’s realistic to drop up to one clothes size in 28 days.

Now.

The structure of this program follows an Eastern Bloc–style principle of frequent exposure with modulated intensity — meaning hard, medium, and easy days — rather than traditional body-part splits.

The workout I shared yesterday was more of a "medium" day - today's workout is more of a "hard" day - later in the week, you’ll see easier, more recovery-based days that still keep you moving and progressing.

Here’s an example of a hard day workout from inside the program:

15-Minute Drop-a-Size Spartan KB Workout (“hard day”)

Warm-up (5 minutes)
Mobility, stretching, halos, hips, shoulders — get loose and ready.

Turkish Get-Up + Snatches
Perform a controlled Turkish get-up. At the top, perform 5 snatches before reversing the get-down.
Use the same work-to-rest ratio throughout the workout.

Squats
Option A: Single kettlebell rack squat – 5 reps per side
Option B: Double kettlebell front squat – 5 reps

Swings
Option A: One-arm kettlebell swings – 5 sets of 10 reps per side
Option B: Double kettlebell swings – 5 sets of 10 reps

Kettlebell Clean & Press
3 sets of 5 reps per side

One-Arm Swing Finisher
10 total rounds
15 seconds work / 15 seconds rest. If you have multiple kettlebells, rotate weights each round. Pick a different bell at random. Complete one full set on one arm before switching. 5 rounds per side total.

This is the kind of session that leaves you smoked — but still done in about 15 minutes.

That balance — hard, medium, easy — is how you train frequently, get leaner, build real conditioning, and avoid burnout.

If you want in, now’s the time.

The 28-Day Spartan Sprint Kettlebell Challenge starts Monday, and we’re about to kick things off.
