This evenings workout was the pit full body workout, there is a full description here. Personally I think the 3 workouts on the DVD are great, don’t take my word for it though, read what others say about it:

Bottom line: If you buy this DVD and follow the workouts three times a week, you will get into great shape!

All in all the training programs are great to follow by yourself if you’re starting out, and want to improve your strength and stamina, with very little equipment.

A good dvd all round, well rounded upper and lower exercises. Good for both starters and advanced athletes.

The pit workout is available from amazon.co.uk.

This evenings workout was a kettlebell workout using a 20kg kettlebell and my own bodyweight:

After warming up I performed: Ten rounds of squat thrusts for 30 reps and then one arm kettlebell swings 15 reps each arm. A round is one set of squat thrusts and one arm kettlebell swings done back to back with as little rest as possible between rounds, just enough to shake out your body and grab a quick drink of water. The squat thrust is a bodyweight exercise in which you squat down, get into the top position of a pushup, and then get back to up the standing position.
