nevs · 07-24-2008, 07:47 AM

i've just been out and bought myself a 28kg/55lb kettlebell as i can't get to a gym i have use of a open field about the size of 2 football pitches and some good hills around where i live, i was wondering if anyone had any advice as in circuit tips or routines that they could help out with, i am a little bit heavier that i should be at the minute and want to get rid of the extra weight but also keep my strength, any good advice would be awesome, thanks

The Magic 50:
5 snatch each arm,
5 swings each arm,
10 burpees
1 min rest between sets
5 sets.

Excellent workout. He has others listed as General Physical Preparedness (GPP). Can't think of them all right now, but the Magic 50 is the best.

Each of these can be done with any number of rep schemes: density training, pyramids, ladders, max reps in time, set number of reps for time, whatever.

28kg doesn't equal 55lbs.

I walk in a square, turning 90 degrees at the end of each. Make it back to the start, or die.

5 swings
5 high pulls
5 snatches

repeat with other arm.

I usually go for a target number of reps and try to do them in the shortest time possible.

So for this circuit I'll usually go for 210 total reps or 7 sets.
