Jenny is currently setting up her own little blog to start blogging her favourite work outs. Much more practical than my ramblings but here is something to get you started:
Due to the fact that I seem to be the world’s busiest newly married 28 year old curly haired person at the moment, I only had about half an hour for my lunchtime training session.
A few years ago I would have probably panicked and spent that half an hour on the treadmill or the cross trainer thinking that lots of cardio was the only way to train hard! However, being older and wiser (thanks to Phill), I now know that you don’t need to spend hours and hours doing ‘cardio’ – in fact, I could work twice as hard in half the time.
So here’s what I did:
Equipment used = 2 x 16kg Kettlebells, 1 bench
Basic focus is mixing kettlebells with jumping and pushing patterns:
Set 1 - Double KB swings - Jumps Depth jumps over bench - Press ups
Set 2 - Single arm swings (30 sec each side) - Side jumps over bench - Crush grip military press
Set 3 - Alternating single arm swings - Jumping lunges - Press ups
Set 4 - Double arm swings - Depth jumps over bench - Long cycle (30 sec each side)
Do each exercise in order KB swings, then jumps, then presses in set then onto set 2, set 3, set 4.
Do each exercise for 1 minute with 30 sec rest in between each exercise.
I did this without an extra rest between sets, but it’s an option to increase the rest between exercises, increase the rest between each set, or decrease the time spent on each exercise.
Give it a go – and let us know how you found it

That is a very efficient use of time! And a much more interesting work out rather than just running!
