Sledgehammer workouts provide you with a core strength and cardio workout. All you need is a 6 to 12 pound sledgehammer and a large tire to complete this exercise. I called my local truckstop and picked up an old tractor trailor tire for free. You do not want to use a standard car or truck tire because they are too small and will move around during the exercise.
You strong guys and gals do not need a larger sledgehammer for this workout. The goal is to hit the tire with the sledgehammer as quickly as possible and repeat. This fast paced movement with the lighter sledgehammer increases your heart rate and burns as many calories as possible. A larger sledgehammer will just slow you down and lessen the cardio effectiveness turning it into a strength only exercise. Control the sledgehammer at all times including when you contact the tire to avoid injury.

Kettlebells allow you to perform 100s of different full body exercises with only one piece of equipment. The kettlebell 300 workout combines strength training with a cardiovascular element for a total workout. If you do not own a kettlebell use a dumbbell or sandbag. Time your kettlebell workout each time in order to track the intensity of each workout session. To really get your heart rate going in order to burn calories, do not rest between sets. Try to beat your best time each workout. Beginners should ease into this workout by using light weight kettlebells or by cutting the number of repetitions in half.

Everyone needs to include bodyweight exercises in their training regimen. I perform pull-ups, dips, pushups, and situps during my warmup almost every single workout. Pullups are one of the best upper body exercises and it will really strengthen your upper body. If you do not believe me look at a typical male gymnast.
If you are unable to complete a pullup this video is for you. This video shows exercises you can perform to improve your upper body strength in order to work up to regular pullups.
To increase difficulty try pullups on gymnastic rings. Gymnastic rings require you to stabilize your body during the entire movement. If gymnastic ring pullups are too easy combine the movement with a dip and complete muscle ups. A great muscle up how to video is posted below.
