    Take quick, controlled steps and maintain your natural stride under load.

  3. 03

    If you need to drop, make it planned and get moving again quickly.

Common mistakes

Where time gets lost.

01

Over-tensing the shoulders and wasting energy before the final stations.

Letting the kettlebells swing and disrupt your posture.

Holding until complete grip failure and turning one short break into a long stop.
