I wanted to give you a kettlebell Training and bodyweight workout that I got from Craig Ballantyne of Turbulence Training and Cris Lopez of Kettlebell workouts.
NOTE: This definitely is not a beginner fat loss workout, so I’ve included a modified version below.
Advanced Kettlebell-Bodyweight 555 Workout
1) Kettlebell Swings – 200
I doubt anyone reading this will be able to pull off 200 straight kettlebell swings. Even I can’t…
…but I broke it down like this: 100, 50, 30, 20. The grip really starts to go in the last two sets. Once you’ve hit 200, move on to:
2A) 100 Prisoner Squats (hands locked behind head)
supersetted with:
2B) 50 Stability Ball Rollouts
I did 25 prisoner squats followed by 12 stability ball rollouts (but I did 14 rollouts in the last set to hit 50). Then, onto…
3A) 100 Bodyweight Squats (hands down at sides)
supersetted with:
3B) 105 Pushups
I did 50 squats, 30 pushups, 25 squats, 25 pushups, 25 squats, 25 pushups, and then another 25 pushups to finish the workout.
Workout lasted 25-30 minutes. And thanks to the beautiful weather, I was able to do this all on my 5th floor balcony with a beautiful view of downtown Toronto (that photo of the snow covered city is obviously not from yesterday!).
Alright, so what if you can’t do that full workout? Here’s a beginner Bodyweight 225:
Take as MUCH REST as you need to as you try to do all the reps and between exercises. Train hard but safe with these bodyweight exercises!
1) 25 Jumping Jacks
3) 25 Bodyweight Squats
3) 25 Kneeling Pushups
4) 25 Prisoner Squats
5) 25 second Plank
6) 25 Stability Ball Leg Curls
7) 25 Kneeling Pushups
8] 25 Bodyweight Squats
9) 25 Jumping Jacks
Even if you can only do the exercises 5 reps at a time, that’s fine. You can split up the program however you’d like. If you want to do 5 circuits of 5 reps, then go for it! Stick to that exercise order because like every Turbulence Training fat loss workout program, there is a method to my madness!
Trust me.
Kettlebell Training Meets Turbulence Training great workouts
