Work capacity tomorrow, limit rest as much as possible. You should be moving through these circuits continuously until the clock stops. Post rounds completed to comments. Also for those of you following the minimalist training sessions check out this site: DIY - Home-made Gym Equipment

"The Twins" is dedicated to Destan and Caden, sons of Jon and Beth Ardan, who collectively recently learned how to climb stairs continuing on in the explorer spirit!

Notes: Substitute a dumbbell for the kettle bell swings if needed. An up-down is a sprawl immediately followed by springing back to your feet for one repetition.

  1. What would be your prescribed KB weight for women? 16Kg? That's what I use in my CrossFit workouts. I like your training style!

  2. Women's KB weight for swings is 16kg, and 24kg for SDHP for this workout. I will start adding in a women's recommended weight after the men's. It will appear as 55/35 lbs. with men's first/women's second.

  7. I did the minimalist work out... 19 rounds. Substituted incline push-ups for the HSPU and used a chair for support for most of the pull-ups. Still a great work out!
