A Madman’s Cardio – A 2-Part Workout That Will Cause Others to Question Your Sanity!

If you want to achieve astounding cardiovascular fitness then you have to train like a madman! That’s right, I mean you have to have an attitude that you’ll either succeed in gaining big results or die trying. There is no gray area! The following 2-part workout that I have included below certainly “fits the mold, and oozes with that attitude!”

Part 1: The Overhead Kettlebell Swing: For this drill you will have to have a moderately heavy kettlebell to kickstart your madman cardiovascular training. To start the drill simply squat to pick up the bell. Perform a normal kettlebell swing by flexing and extending your hips and knees in a continuous snapping motion. This will allow you to swing the kettlebell from between your legs all the way up to above your head in a wide arc. This drill is much more intense than the traditional chest level swing. To build mad cardiovascular endurance execute 50 repetitions of these in the first part of your madman 2-part workout! When finished immediately transition to part 2.

Part 2: Kettlebell Squat Jumps: For this part of your madman training you will need 2 relatively light kettlebells of equal weight. Stand on flat ground and pick the bells up holding one in each hand. Next, you will want to perform squat jumps while holding the bells in each hand on each side of your body. Make sure that you perform a perfect form squat every time and explosively elevate your body off of the ground. Every repetition should be performed in rapid succession. Start out by executing 15 to 20 repetitions immediately following part-1 of your madman cardio workout. When finished give yourself about 3 minutes rest and repeat the process 2 more times! Train hard and enjoy.
