The Workout Behind Osher Günsberg's Transformation
MH Fitness Director Chief Brabon subjected Günsberg to his signature DARC (Dynamic Aerobic Resistance Conditioning) workout system, which pairs weights moves with high intensity cardio. Alternate these circuits five days a week to stack on muscle while shredding fat

2. Turkish Get-up - punch the KB straight up, and drive up onto your left elbow. Complete the get-up motion, finishing in the standing position, the KB above your shoulder.
3. Complete one Swing Snatch: swing the KB down and back between your thighs then back to the top.
