A quick Kettlebell Workout to Do NOW - No Excuses!

OK, a quick 'no excuses' workout for you, to stay within the theme of my Ultimate No Excuses 'You Write the Rules' Transformation Contest!

Perform 5 mins of dynamic stretches, plus body weight squats, lunges, side lunges and the stick up before you start.

10 Reps (each side where applicable) of the following, taking as little rest as possible until the end of the min-circuit:

• Clean and Press
• Tactical Lunges, or Racked Lunges (holding the kettlebell in the racked position)
• Press ups (if you want to use one kettlebell on the floor you can do assymetric press ups, one hand on the bell and one on the floor, alternating each rep (which means you have to do 10 each side - ha!)
• Deadlift - you can do any variation here: one kettlebell centre, suitcase deadlift holding one to the side, 2 KB deadlift holding two of the same or uneven weight to the side (if unevem don't forget to swap!)
• Lunge and row (or if you have 2 KBs try the renegade row!)
• Swings x 25 (yes I know I said 10 of each but hey...)

Time yourself if you can find an implement of time measurement, give yourself 1-2 minute break then repeat and see if you can hit the same time!

If you have time for a third set - hit it!

Have a good stretch of tight muscle groups afterwards - and enjoy the feeling of a revved up metabolism!

And next time, try to beat today's time (or go for harder variations or a heavier KB...)
