Workout of the Week
Here are some of my favorite kick ass workouts. The workout of the week is a great way to break up your current training routine, and add muscle confusion to your current training plan.
**As always consult with a physician before starting an intense exercise program**.

"Swing, Sprint, Push-Up"
Begin with 20 swings. Immediately sprint 10 yards and drop and do 10 to 20 push-ups. Walk back to your kettlebell, rest only as much as necessary - none if you can do it. Twenty more swings then immediately sprint 20 yards and more push-ups. Repeat that pattern adding 10 yards to the sprint every time until you hit 100 yards. If you happen to be great at sprinting you can adjust the sprint yardage to longer sprints or up and down push-ups as you feel is appropriate.
This is a great workout for the explosive athlete!!

Trust me, it doesn't get easier as the reps go lower! by the end of this workout 2 pull-ups feel like 20.
The format is simple. The rep scheme descends so you just minus 1 rep off each set. Do each exercise in order: 10 pulls then 20 KB swings, (10 each hand) then 10 burpees then 9 pulls then 19 kb swings then 9 burpees,etc... Continue until you reach the end. Rest where needed. The goal of this Decending Circuit is to complete it as fast as possible.

"Get er done!"
" The Countdown "
Here's how it works: You do 15 repetitions of the kettlebell swing (you can also use a dumbbell for this), followed immediately by 15 reps of the squat thrust. Without resting, do 14 reps of the swing and then 14 reps of the squat thrust. Continue this pattern until you complete only one rep of each exercise. This is called a countdown workout.
Sure, that's just two exercises, but do the math: If you complete the entire routine -- from 15 down to 1 -- you'll do 120 repetitions of each exercise. That's 240 repetitions. And these aren't just any exercises: They're movements that challenge your entire body, and will burn a ton of calories! Good Luck!
