Work Outs
This is just a list of work outs I’ve done and enjoyed.
Kettlebell Circuit
- 15 split squats each side. (Back leg elevated)
- 20 Kettlebell swings (I might add more, because I CAN do more)
- 10 each side Kettlebell clean and press (over head) (start on the weakest arm)
- 10 each side one handed Kettlebell swings
- 30 Russian Twists
Do this 3-4 times. I did this with an 8kg (~17lbs) kettlebell

Go through the list doing each exercise for 90 seconds. After you’ve done all 8, take a 1 min break and then go through the list again doing each exercise for 60 seconds. Again, 1 min break and then again one last time, all 8 exercises for 30 seconds.
60/30s
Go through all 5 stations without stopping. 3 rounds total with a 1 min rest between rounds. For each round change X (the 30 sec exercise). I like round one to be push ups, round 2 to be squats and round three to be burpees.
After 3 rounds do Victory lap of just the 60 sec exercises
- 60 seconds Hill climbing on the bike/30 seconds of X
- 60 seconds Kettle bell swing/30 seconds of X
- 60 seconds Russian Twists/30 seconds of X
- 60 seconds See-saw presses/30 seconds of X
- 60 seconds Jump lunges/30 seconds of X
