I did this workout when it first came out as my boyfriend was obsessed with the show. Stupidly it was one of the first workouts i ever did and my god it was brutal, what an introduction to weight training! I can see how the actors got so ripped tho 😛

One of my favourite workouts of all time – I’ve been doing this one since it was released in Men’s Health (snagged my man’s copy!).

I’m slightly fanatical about heart rate training – and this one has consistently had my heart pounding out of my chest for the highest average rate of any of the workouts I’ve done since I’ve been tracking them. Every time I do it (every couple of weeks, generally) I’m astounded at how much hard work it takes to get through.

Not just for men!

Thanks again!

That was a really tough workout!

I had to adapt a bit as only got one KB and I prefer numbered sets rather than timed. So I took and average of what you did on each exercise, rounded it to the nearest 5 and then aimed for that on each set.

Ooh I’m really feeling it now 🙂

Hey Minnie V, thanks as always for you kind comment 🙂

Glad you completed it – you must have a real sense of achievement, especially because you nearly gave up! I know that feeling!

Just about to head in to work for night 3/3 YAY! nearly done for the week! Means I can finally get a new workout up. Stay tuned over the weekend 🙂

Cheers

Hi Marianne,
Just tried this workout today,WOW!!!!! I don’t have kettlebells YET,so I improvised using dumbells. It was fantastic but…. not easy. I was going to quit after 2 rounds but would’ve felt like a failure. It’s kinda like once you begin you should always finish. So glad I listened to my inner voice. As always Marianne,thank you sincerly for all your help.

P.S. Have a great day! 🙂
