My Rope-a-dope/KB cardio fat-burning FREAKOUT !!



Using ropes for short-burst cardio are a quick-and-dirty way to jack up your metabolism and get your fat stores burning like nobody's beeswax!

My Kettlebell and fat-loss clients will work hard and all-out for 20 seconds,recover for 10 seconds,then repeat that 30 second"round" 8 times for a four minute finisher that cannot be beat.

Outside the gym-in the park,at the beach, the challenge is enhanced,as grass,dirt,and sand can add to the weight and resistance!
In case you were wondering,I use a 40ft. rope,1 1/2 in. in diameter--hey,i should really see how much that weighs,huh?

Here's what i did:
pass the TigerBalm and Epsom salts,thank you

20"ON/10"OFF,no rest between rounds:
Rope circuit,rest 3 mins.,KB circuit:

1:alternating waves
2:side2side sweeps
3:2 hand waves
4:circles-in/out
5:landing the 747 @ JFK
6:jumping jacks
7:throwdowns
8:seated alternating waves

THEN:with my 3 Kettlebells all lined up,waiting to mock me:

1:2 hand swings
2:figure 8 to hold
3:hot potato(ladies---do this one BEFORE the nail salon..)
4:H2H swings
5:alternating tactical "hi steppers"-walking..(dead man walking)
6:swing-flip-squat
7.back to 2 hand swings..and
8:KB burpees.

My "line up?-35lb./24lb./18lb.KB
As i got more fried,i just dropped down a size..certain moves demanded some humility.

What do you guys think?-20 mins. and DONE!Contact me for more details on the 'moves! Let me hear from you,and please,
