Beginner Kettlebell Workout – Exercise Video
The beginner kettlebell workout video recommends to rest 30-45 seconds between sets and 60 seconds between exercises. When starting out go at an easy pace. You need to condition your body more to prevent injuries so go slow at first. Time each full workout and improve that time each time you complete this beginner kettlebell workout. I prefer to take as little rest as possible. Work up to a point where you can complete the entire video without resting. This kettlebell workout video provides a full body workout, works your core, burns calories for weight loss and increases strength.
Warmup beforehand with the kettlebell warmup exercises

Beginner Full Body Workout Video
You do not need equipment to meet your fitness goals. Burn calories and lose weight with bodyweight exercises. This particular video combines a full body workout with Tabata intervals. A Tabata interval is 20 seconds of 100% output during a particular exercise followed by 10 seconds of rest. Complete this a minimum of 8 times.
Start your full body Tabata Workout after a 15 minute warmup.
My warmup includes 3 sets of the following:
overhead squats with a pvc pipe
sit-ups
pull-ups
stretching
back extensions on a swiss ball
Perform each exercise 20 seconds followed by a 10 second rest. Move directly to the next exercise without stopping. With Tabata intervals, maximize your output for each 20 seconds to receive the full benefits of the workout. This workout routine only takes you 4 minutes to complete.

Sledgehammer and Tire Workout – Exercise Video
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.
