Countdowns

Last week I told you about the New book "Cardio Strength Training" by strength coach Robert Dos Remedios. You can find the book at www.Amazon.com or your local bookstore.

Coach Dos provides the reader with many metabolically tough workouts, one of which being a routine called countdowns, i.e 10 push-ups 10 squat jumps working down to 1 push-up and 1 squat jump as fast as possible.



Here is a KB countdown that we did at the San Diego RKC in August, and I have done several times since, this one looks much easier than it is.

Men use a 16-24kg Kettlebell
Women use a 12-16 kg kettlebell

Start with 10 goblet squats followed by 10 swings, trying not to put the KB down down now do 9 goblet squats and 9 swings keep going until your down to 1 squat and 1 swing. Simply sinister and will boost your metabolism into overdrive!
