Hold two dumbbells and perform each exercise in an alternating left side/right side fashion.
- Do alternating single-leg Romanian deadlifts, 6-8 each side, then walk to the next cone.
- Do 6-8 alternating-arm hang cleans. Finish with each dumbbell in the shoulder carry racked position. Walk to the next cone.
- Do 6-8 (each side) alternating lunges (front or reverse) holding the dumbbells in the racked position. Walk to the next cone.
- Do 6-8 dumbbell upper cuts (each side), then walk back to the starting cone carrying the dumbbells overhead.
That's one round. Perform 2-4 rounds, resting about 2-4 minutes between.
