Sweat Like a Pig Workout

Hi guys,

Today’s workout takes only 20 minutes and there are 5 rounds of 6 exercises. Each round is 4 minutes long. It’s an interval training so you will need an interval timer. Each round is made up of two intervals: 10 seconds of rest and 30 seconds of maximum effort that you will repeat 6 times (6 exercises). I am using my Gymboss Interval Timer as usual. I am also using my kettlebell Bozenka, and dip station and jump rope from Ultimate Body Press.

Don’t forget to warm up before your workout and stretch after your training.

If you guys are interested in learning more about kettlebells, than check out Dragondoor.com. They have a lot of cool dvd’s and books not only about kettlebells, but also about bodyweight training.

Enjoy your workout,

Zuzana.

Roll Back and Jump. Start by standing in front of your exercise mat, then squat down with your arms by your sides and palms facing the mat. Roll your body backwards and extend your legs over your head. Don’t roll onto your neck. Keep your shoulder blades on the ground. Reverse the movement and roll forward vertebrae by vertebrae into a squat position. As soon as you get into the squat jump up and land softly on the balls of your feet.

Side Leg Lifts. Hold yourself up on the Dip Station, bring your knees up and to the side, tucking your legs around the bar and then return your legs to the center. Repeat on the other side. Keep your shoulders away from your ears, and  your arms extended.

Scissors with Jump Rope. Always land softly on the balls of your feet and bend your knees slightly as you land. Keep your chest up and your core muscles engaged.

Sunflower Squat. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart holding a kettlebell with both hands in front of your chest. Squat down pushing your hips back until your hips are below your knees. If your flexibility doesn’t allow you to go all the way down, than just do your best and remember that you have to work on your flexibility. Keep the shins vertical and the weight on your heels. Your toes are slightly pointing outwards and your knees are tracking your toes. Squeeze your butt and stand up pushing your hips forward. Rotate your upper body to the side and press the kettlebell up to the side.

Sit Up. Lay on your exercise mat, bend your knees and anchor your toes underneath something heavy enough to hold you in place. Grab your kettlebell and hold it with both of your hands in front of your chest.  Try to squeeze your gluts and contract your abs as you lift your back up off of the mat vertebrae by vertebrae. Reverse the movement in a controlled manner.

    Awesome workout!!!!! I love the kettlebell moves, I feel them like no other!!

    I was just wondering zuzana, and everyone as well, what kind of sneakers do you recommend? For running/jump-roping etc, I like ones with good ankle support, which sneakers do you prefer?

  5. Shanna says:

    also before i got my kettlebell, using a backpack and putting regular free weights inside or medicine ball etc makes a great alternative

      Yeeey, great idea! I was using 5 litars bottle of watter, but it was hard to hold while moving. Your way is much better ;)

      Every day I learn something new, especially on this web site. I love this community! :)

    Hi Zuzana and Frederick!
    I recently finally got the dip station from Ultimate Body press! I also have an Iron gym pull up bar to put on the door. I first had the pull up bar, and I could only stay with it for a little bit at a time because my hands would hurt. So I decided I would work my upper body more with the dip station when it came. So it’s here, and my hand bones are sore! I have to stop because of my hands and not the muscles I’m trying to work! I have some exercise gloves that are open fingered, but it’s still not enough support. Can you recommend any special gloves for these type of exercises? How are you managing? Do you have strong callouses? Lol Perhaps I should hold small towels under my hands?
    Thanks! Hope to hear back!

    Hi Zuzana,
    I enjoy your workouts and I enjoy Yoga as well. Do you have any Yoga workout routines? I have not been able to find it in your wp.
    Stay fit!
