I put together a challenge/video as part of the Skins Location Challenge and thought I'd share it with the class  I know I don't really train like a lot of the people on here but this is pretty simple so everyone that has access to a kettlebell should be able to give it a go!
"3 Minutes of Hell"
As Many Rounds As Possible in 3 minutes of:
7 Kettlebell Swings (24kg)
7 Burpees
All movements are explained in the video 
http://vimeo.com/19067405 (I'm the guy at the left of the picture in the blue/white shorts and black tshirt  )
And if you had a good crack of the whip and wanna post your score to Skins you can access the Facebook app here - http://apps.facebook.com/skinslc/
5rounds + 7swings to beat!

You're fucking going for it son 
Might give it a go, i'm assuming its 10 times harder than it looks...! Was that your first attempt, or something you do on a regular basis?
