My (weekly) morning KB routine (feedbacks are welcome)

I am 38, a very intensive toddler and a life of solopreneur in Germany (please don't do that, the amout of beurocracy is insane :D), here is my morning routine, the long term goal is longevity:

Day 1 - Explosive Power (fast + crisp movements, 5-6 reps)

Kettlebell Swing (2-hand or 1-hand) - 5 reps × 6-8 sets
Kettlebell Clean - 5 reps/side × 4 sets
Push Press or Jerk - 5 reps/side × 4 sets
60-90s between sets. Focus on speed, not grinding.

Day 2 - Strength (controlled, 6-12 reps)

Goblet Squat - 3×8-10
One-Arm Row - 3×8/side
Floor Press (lying press) - 3×8-10/side
Farmers Carry - 3×20-30 sec per side

60s rest between sets. Aim for last reps to be challenging.

Day 3 - Mobility & Control (lighter, slower, 6-15 reps)

Turkish Get-Up - 3 reps/side (slow, controlled) - This is something I am not really enjoying :D
Windmill (light KB or bodyweight) - 3×6-8/side
Cossack Squat (with or without KB) - 3×8/side
Halos (around head) - 3×10 each direction

Move deliberately, stretch at end ranges, breathe deeply.

Day 4 - Conditioning (steady effort, 5-10 reps nonstop for 1-2 min), Circuit style (repeat 3-4 times, minimal rest):

10 swings
5 cleans/side
5 presses/side
5 goblet squats
30 sec plank or mountain climbers

This should feel like cardio with weights - steady, sweaty, sustainable.

(Optional Day 5) - Mix & Match / Flow

Swing > Clean > Press > Squat > Row > Repeat other side (5 reps each, 3-4 rounds, light-moderate bell).This is lower intensity and doubles as mobility/conditioning.
