Kettlebell chipper workouts that will test your mental game, endurance and strength. Kettlebells are known for bridging the gap between strength work and stamina; their constantly changing centre of gravity replicates the forces that you’d encounter in day-to-day life.
The chipper format is one of the most popular structures in CrossFit training. The aim of these workouts is to make you reach fatigue in one task, then switch up the demands and keep going. There is a cumulative effect in chipper workouts of course, yet the variety allows for an incredibly high metabolic demand.
The variety also balances competition between athletes, as people naturally have strengths and weaknesses. When a workout features more than three or four movements, both are likely to come up.
Movements in every chipper workout are made intense by pace, load, reps or the combination of them. Ideally, the first round will be hard but possible, moving on to the subsequent rounds will usually require pacing, rest, and breaking the task up into manageable efforts.
