Hi everyone,
Remind me never to accumulate so much stuff every again! Minimalist life from now on … honest!
Moving sucks the life out of me and this workout was way more difficult than it ought to be. Perhaps it was all the distractions or just a build up of fatigue from not getting much rest over the past week.
The new place is coming together and I am adjusting slowly to life back at my mum’s house. The hardest part is travelling back and forth to the City – for the last 6 years, I have lived in the city and I hardly used my car. However, I am happy to have a place to live where the cats are safe and a place to film my workouts and train my clients.
Anyway, it’s great to be back with a new workout!
I hope you will forgive me for choosing the wrong outfit and blending in 100% with the carpet LOL!

Holy crap girl 🙂 This routine had me sweating buckets, it was awesome 🙂 LOVED IT!!!!
Hi Marianne,
I ‘m back after brief rest running the Austin Texas marathon. I love all your new workouts! Spring is here in Philadelphia PA USA so it’s early morning kettle time on the patio and bike commuting Question? I have the hardest time with kettle squats, keeping my back straight no matter how deep I go I’m always leaning forward . I’m a PT too and I hate that my form is so bad when I’m training someone. I understand at 59 I’m not as flexible as I was but I really don’t have any major medical issues . Any tips?
Thanks
Nate
PS I have gas heat so how would the bag of coal workout LOL!
Nate, would you send me a clip of your squat? To mvk_82@hotmail.com and I’ll see if I can help 🙂
trying again
Oy! I did this workout two days ago and I’m STILL hurting! Damn Bulgarians and your evil split squats! 😉 And then Marianne unleashes more evil upon us by prescribing stand-kneel-stand! Your site should be renamed “whyowhy” instead of “myomy”, ‘cos that’s what I was thinking as I was doing this! 🙂
Thanks and I still love you! <3

thanks for the weight info. I will start with my 12kgs and see how I make out. I am feeling seriously motivated this week. Killed my run record 4 miles 39 minutes. will post my scores when I recover.
Cheers
short and tough. I am hoping to try this tonight was going to run but the weather here has been brutal. icy rain and 25 inches of snow.
The new place looks like a great workout space with a lot of potential. On the split squat, what were the weights?
Thanks, Mickela. That’s some crazy weather!!
The weights in the first set were 12.5kg each side, then I went up to 15kg each side for the last sets. 🙂
Love the additional accessory exercises!
BTW: I miss it when you don’t add what weight you use for each exercise, I find that really helpful!
I love your workouts! I cannot wait to try this one. Thank you!
Yay! You’re back. Hope you are getting settled in at your Mom’s house 😉 Great new workout. I think I’ll try this today but substitute the Stand-Kneel-Stand since ive been to the knee Dr. lately. Maybe do not-so-deep goblet squats instead. Gotta get my knee better 😉 You look great, by the way! Blessings, Chanin
