Today's Workout - Steve Cotter's DVD

Just did one of the workouts from Steve Cotter's Extreme Kettlebell DVD - the Cardio Circuit 2 & 3 from disk 4, about 30 mins in total...

The following, 1 minute rounds with a 16kg:

Hand to hand swings
Front Squat - KB to chest
Clean and Press - 1 side only
Overhead Squat - same side
Clean and Press - other side
Overhead Squat - same side
Single Arm Row - one side
Reverse Lunge KB to chest - one side
Single Arm Row - other side
Reverse Lunge KB to chest - other side
Snatch
Lateral / Cossack Lunges KB to chest
Snatch other side
Side squats / Bob & weave
Horizontal Row - one side
1 leg single leg deadlift
Horizontal Row - other side
1 leg single leg deadlift - other side
Biceps Curls - holding horns, bell uppermost
Half Squat round the body pass

Followed by the 10 minute circuit with 2 x 16kgs, 30 s of each exercise...

Double cleans
Dive bomber push up
Double Snatch - I didn't actually have the kahunas to try this with the two 16kgs as I've only just started doing double KB ballistic stuff... Next time...
Clap Push Ups
Front Sq uats - KBs racked
High Kicks
Double Mil Press - only managed a couple of these - heavy!
Squat hold
Double arm bent over row
Jump lunges
Double swings - managed these, although feel like legs have to be super wide!
Lateral shuffles
Renegade row
Hip Switches
1 Leg Deadlift
Bob & Weave
Double clean and press - actually did 1 leg DL on the other side as only did 1 side earlier...
Jumping Push Ups - amazed I could do these - easier than they appear - give em a go!
Double arm horizontal row
Cossack side lunges

All that was only 30 mins!  Didn't feel as high intensity cardio as the Anthony Diluglio DVDs, as there is still a strength element for me, espscially using the 2 16kgs.  But feel energised rather than depleted and looking forward to training tomorrow!  

450 cals according to my Polar HRM with a max of 166bpm...
