If you’re looking for a killer new way to work out – holy shit this is it. Simple, effective, and after doing it yesterday with a 20 minute stretch I’m still super sore.
I saw the workout description and was pretty sure it would be moderately easy, considering the max amount of burpees you’ll ever do is 15 (and only once). But no. If you’re looking for something pretty mindless where you can burn fat and incorporate leg training, this be it.
So grab a heavy kettlebell or dumbell and get swingin’. I used 15kgs and did the push-up in the burpee which amped it up tenfold. The video will explain, but you pretty much do 1 kettlebell swing and 1 burpee and then 2 swings 2 burpees etc until you get to 15. Then go back down to 1. Ouch.
It’s not as daunting as you may think, but it is hard. Even though it’s kinda addictive, make sure you always mix up the style of your super intense workouts to keep the body guessing and burning fat. Do one thing too often and it isn’t going to work after a while.
So Cassey, this Pilates instructor all over YouTube, is a beast and doing her videos actually got me into Pilates ages ago. She’s branched out though, and now does videos that incorporate HIIT (high intensity interval training) and weight training. If you have the time, I urge you to check her out (and no, Pilates ain’t just for the girls. Heaps of sportsmen do Pilates-inspired workouts because it’s just so amazing for strength and stability as well as isolation of those tiny muscles you never think of).
So go. GO and do this NOW. If you’re a beginner, drop the weight in the swing and drop the push-up. So, no excuses.
Good luck…
