He’s a bit of a wuss so I doubt he will 🙂

My first KB was a York one, but I have found the handle to be a bit thick. It seems to be a KB with a plastic casing around it making it a bit larger all around. Think I will get a more traditional one in a few weeks when I get the next one up. Brodun KBs seem pretty reasonably priced and nice and shiny to which is very important of course 🙂

Yeah I really enjoyed this workout, but all that cardio is tough going! It’s a longer workout. This format is challenging.
Tell your mate to give it a go too 😉

I really like this workout with much more cardio in it, as that is what i really want to improve on along with strength. I am going to come up with some more workouts based on this format, all being full body overall but some maybe more geared towards certain areas like, core, upper body and legs.

I’m standing there kinda dripping with sweat a bit and my mate comes down the stairs and says ‘it’s not really that heeavy though is it’, probably only having picked it up once!. Everything is easier when you’re only watching it!!!! He was lucky I was in such a good mood ha ha!

Hi Tempest,

Well done on completing the workout, this was a REALLY tough one, so much cardio LOL. I think I managed about 40 reps for the 2 H swings in the 45 seconds, I didn’t record how many at the time, but usually I manage about 28 or so in 30 secs. Obviously as I got tired, I managed less.

I recommended you do 50 as an alternative to using the timer. Slightly more reps, but you don’t have a timer counting down 15 seconds rest, so it compensates for that.

Well done again, keep it up

most of the cardio 2 handed KB swings i i did 23-30 reps

single arm swings, 27 or 28

alternating swings around 14, on each side.

Windmills i did only ten, because i think my form is crappy.

(need to practice on that)

Pushups i only did 10, i and i hate to admit it, but i only did 10. what can i say, i would rather, do them on my knees, than on my toes, and do them crappy.

any ?’s message me on FB

Total # of swings….. 392 swings…… wow.. not bad.

I can’t believe you get close to 50 2 handed swings, you kick some butt girl. the numbers of swings you gave me, was that for each 45 sec session? You do about TWICE AS MUCH AS I DO, and i’m sure you use a heavier bell than me. ugg

Hi Tempest, my workouts are only a suggestion to give you an idea, so feel free to adapt it to suit yourself. For the HIIT sections in this workout I would probably aim for 50 reps of 2H swing, 30 for each single swing, and 40 reps for the alternating swing. I hope this helps. If these reps do not challenge enough, then increase the reps or the speed, remember to rest in between.
