Guys will use anywhere from 2 16kg's - 2 24kg's, and gals will use anywhere from 2 8kg's - 2 16kg's. Start on the low end and adjust from there. Perform each movement back-to-back without setting the bells down.

1. To begin, clean ...your 2 bells into the rack position and press overhead.
2. Perform an overhead carry for 20 seconds - own your rib position!
3. Lower the bells into the rack position and carry for 20 seconds
4. Lower bells to your side and farmer's carry for 20 seconds
5. Perform KB deadlifts for 20 seconds
6. Walk your feet back and perform your choice of push-up/plank variation off the handles for 20 seconds.

Repeat 3x. Progress by increasing the time from 20-25-30 seconds per exercise. Once you can perform all 3 rounds at 30 seconds, increase the weight and start over at 20 seconds, or less if need be.

"Not enough time" is a frequent excuse given as to why people are unable to train. This week, I put the proverbial nail in that coffin while simultaneously showing you what REAL 'cardio' and 'core' training is.

While not something you'd want to do on a regular basis, give this a try whenever you are really pressed for time, or as a 'finisher' to your regularly planned training session.

WARNING: This is not for the faint of heart.

4 'dead' cleans
4 ...1/2 kneeling see-saw or alternating overhead presses
4 reverse lunges
4 double kb bent-over row*
4 sldls's
4 spiderman pushups off the kb handles**

Rest 1-2 minutes

Note: split the work equally(2 sets each) when performing the reverse lunges and sldl's

* substitute single-arm supported bent over rows if you are unable to maintain good posture

** substitute walking planks if you are unable to perform spiderman pushups. aim for 4 'steps' per leg
