The Underdog and a Hardcore KB Workout

My boyfriend is a bit of a footie fan, so I am currently a Euro 2008 widow - he will literally watch any sport, especially footie, that is on so is not bothered that England failed to even qualify.

I don't really mind, it keeps him occupied so I can cook a delicious, healthy curry extravaganza for our dinner and allows me to come and tell you guys everything without him moaning at me for being stuck to the laptop as usual!

And Russia have just won - as did Turkey last night - and I do love the rise of the underdog. It just goes to show how far passion and drive can supercede 'genetics'...

Back to the boyfriend: pre-footie he found a great workout on YouTube - I was yoga-ing upstairs (it's my day off training today whereas he's been a lazy git all week - including a night on the lash on a MONDAY NIGHT, no sympathy whatsoever for feeling fat and unfit there, I'm afraid...) and could hear him grunting in the garage so must have been quite hard! It was a KB 300 Workout, along the same theme of the Bodyweight 500 and 1000 from Craig B's TT programme...

25 V Sits (no KB prescribed, I'll do it with the 16kg KB)
50 Snatches 16kg+
25 Push Ups
50 Swings 16kg+
50 Burpees (ouch)
50 KB Clean & Press 14 / 16kg KB
50 Mountain Climbers (= 25 ES)

I'm going to give it a go tomorrow, although I'm a windsurfer and tomorrow is looking to be super windy (v. exciting for a weekend in June!) so might be bu66ared by the time I get round to training - might stick to a recovery yoga session then try this Monday.... Am I prevaricating???

If anyone fancies giving it a go, let me know how long it takes and we can post the 'winners' up here! Oli took about 20 mins, but the record (with a 24kg KB...) was under 12 mins - eeek....
