just an update….. just completed the 2nd set of 10 exercises using 20lb kettle bell. I love the challenge of this workout and am totally focused and committed to completing the whole workout in one session.
Thanks again Marianne

Hi Marianne
Thanks for this great workout! I could only manage to do the 10 exercises once through with my 20lb kettlebell but I will keep at it. Looking forward to my next attempt – got a feeling I will be feeling it tomorrow 🙂
Thanks again

Hey Mike, Thank you for your kind words 🙂 I am glad that you took the “plunge” and tried the funny looking kettlebells at your gym! Soon I am sure you will also make it look easy. But I can tell you, it doesn’t feel easy 😉

Your overall conditioning for soccer will really benefit from this type of training.

Let me know how you get on with it. And any questions, just ask and I’ll try to help.

Hey Marianne,
I stumbled on this site via YouTube with an interest to explore those funny looking kettle bells at my gym. I’m so happy I did! I just got back from the gym after trying this work-out, and it was amazing. I will say you make it look way too easy (I used 12.5 kgs. and it was tough!) I look forward to exploring your ideas and suggestions. I also wanted to tell you, I just read your “about” section, and I really admire and appreciate what you do. I am 27 and starting to see how metabolism and other factors I took for granted aren’t as reliable as I get older. This past year I’ve been making great efforts to exercise more efficiently and especially given my diet better attention. It’s difficult, so any and everything you contribute is greatly appreciated (especially with soccer and football seasons around the corner.) Thank you! – Mike

Nice one Steve. I’d say you’ll be swinging a 24kg in no time 🙂

Not sure who will win, I like the “reject” boy band. But I like Matt and Aiden too. Got a funny feeling Cheryl will win again LOL!

Man I just did this with my 16kg, I nearly died!

This was my final test before I pick up my 20kg tomorrow, it’s definitely the hardest workout on here. Oh and as their sale is ending soon I ordered a 24kg to as I am sure I will need that in the not too distant future 🙂

So who do you think is going to win X-factor?

I think Aiden Grimshaw is the best so far.

Steve.

In reply to Marianne. Well yes I did enjoy it and plan on this as a regular routine. Recently I've been doing the "Ultimate Two-Exercise Workout" of burpees & arm swings from 12 reps counting down. The Spartacus workout was a welcome change. Another tough one is "Jacobs Ladder" intervals. If you have any other workout suggestions please let me know and thank you. Have a great day!
