kettlebell and bodyweight circuit for beginners

Stretch before and after!  Hold each stretch for a minimum of 25 seconds.

Warm- up: 20 jumping jacks or 10 minutes of continuous walking (be creative here! you can use stairs in your home by going up and down them for 10 minutes, jog in place, etc.)

The workout (perform with as little rest between exercises as possible):

kettlebell swings: 10
mountain climbers: 10 (5 each leg)
push-ups: 10
burpees: 10
clean and press with kettlebell: 10
reverse crunches: 10

**Something you can't do?  Replace it with an exercise that you can do or modify it. Can't do a regular push-up?  Start from your knees.  It's about getting stronger and healthier!  You'll get there.
**Don't have a kettlebell yet?  Make your own resistance using an old gym bag or pillow case.  Fill it with sand or whatever you can SAFELY use to add weight.
**10 reps of each too much? Do 5 of each instead.
**Too easy? Do two rounds, three rounds or visit my other blog  at http://anthonysunconventionaltraining.blogspot.com/

GOOD LUCK!
