Fitness/Beginners:

Warm up:

20 Kettlebell swings (russian-eye level) or dumbbell swing

note- fly through this workout as fast as you can.  Make sure to thrust the kb or dumbbell up with your hips.  If the kettlebell is drooping down then you're using too much arms.  Choose a light to moderate weight here.

400 meter run

note- warm up a lot on the deadlifts.  I want perfect form.  If you can, place a mirror to your side and keep an eye on your technique or just turn the bar to the side-perpendicular to the wall/mirror.  If you lose form or your back starts to curve, go down in weight.  Remember head up and chest out, lift with legs. 


After Burner:
Death by pull-up
1 pull-up the first minute, 2 the second minute, 3 the third minute, resting the remainder of the minute until the fresh minute, and so on until you fail the number of reps that minute.   Good luck.


Post weights and times.
