300 KB Workout...

Well, I've just done the kettlebell workout my boyfriend did on Saturday, and I did it in 13 mins 9 s! I did the following, with as little rest as poss:

25 V Sits 16 kg KB
50 Swing Snatches with 14kg KB (was working on technique as I've been doing a hybrid snatch all this time and only realised on Fri I need to learn the swing snatch and the power snatch not a half-and-half as I had! Did 10 each arm x 2 then 5 each arm to complete 50)
25 Push Ups
50 Swings 16 kg KB
50 Burpees
50 KB Clean and Presses 14kg KB (these were a bit more clean and jerk / push press than strict presses... Did 5 on each arm to complete the full 50)
50 Mountain Climbers (50 ES)

I did all the exercises as one long set rather than splitting into smaller chunks, but you could split so do 5 x 10 burpees rather than 50 all in a row...

Fun, pretty intense workout and I beat my boyfriend, he he... In fact, back to Tiger Woods, it was only after the first few burpees I realised they probably aren't on my knee rehab schedule for just yet, but I had to complete the workout and the knee had no problems with them, so I did!

Although it was only 13 mins (after a warmup of my physio exercises) I have definitely worked out! You really don't need to train for hours to get results - intensity is the key! If you want to find out more about short, intense workouts for time-efficient results then your best bet is Turbulence Training and / or The Bodybot.
