Abs and Butt workouts I did her Psychopath Workout workout after my strength workout for chest this morning. It's a Tabata workout, 10/20 (10 seconds rest, 20 seconds rest) and each exercise is done for 4 minutes, with as little rest as possible between the next exercise. Wow, very intense, but it went by very quickly.

You're welcome. Please let me know how you like it. You can even cut the bodyweight reps down to 25 reps and still get a really great workout.

Jen, you're welcome. I think you'll find the workouts do get a bit easier when you become accustomed to this type of training. It will never be a walk in the park, but you will feel yourself getting stronger, which is so rewarding.
There will be exercises that will pop up that you will need to sub, and that's OK. If you need help with ideas, just holler. The Ninja squats that she does is hard for me because of my iffy knees, so I modify by throwing either my outlaw rope or strap over my pull up bar and I'll hold onto to it. I don't depend on it to get me off the ground, but I hold it just enough to make it a tad easier. I personally think kettlebells and bodyweight exercises are such an excellent way to get in shape quickly.

My new kettlebell/bodyweight circuit
I came up with this circuit last night and did this workout this morning.
It is based on Zuzana's 600 rep workout. I did sub the last bodyweight exercise for horizontal rows. I chose the kettlebell exercise based on the body part that was the focused in the 600 workout, and it made this workout exceptionally tough, especially if you do two rounds. I'm thinking that maybe opposing muscle groups might be better. You can easily switch it around. I also timed this workout instead of counting reps, and I didn't get the full amount of reps on some of the bodyweight exercises. Oh, I added kettlebell swings and snatches at the beginning of each circuit, because I'm still doing a kettlebell swing challenge. You can omit them if you want. Kettlebell/600 Rep Workout: Repeat twice. Start second round with kettlebell snatches, 10 reps per side. swings Kettlebell swings-20 reps Burpees with Calve Raises – 30 reps Kettlebell chest presses-10 reps each side One Leg Push Ups – 30 reps (switching legs) Kettlebell overhead swings-20 reps Jump Lunges – 30 reps Kettlebell Suitcase Deadlifts-10 reps each side One Leg Dead Lifts – 30 reps total (15 on each leg) Kettlebell swings-20 reps Prisoner Squat and Front Kick – 30 reps (switching legs) Kettlebell squats biceps curls squat position triceps overhead extensions in standing position-10 reps One Leg Tricep Dip – 30 reps (switching legs) Kettlebell overhead swings-20 reps One Leg Jump – 30 reps total (30 on each leg) Kettlebell Rows-10 reps each side Crunches with Leg Extensions – 30 reps Kettlebell swings-20 reps Over The Chair Kick – 30 reps total (15 on each leg) Kettlebell Tactical Lunges-20 reps total Horizontal Rows-30 reps
