Women's workout

Absolutely amazing response from you all, I really appreciate it and its spurred me on to keep this blog rolling and hopefully be of use to everyone! Also, if you're interested in learning other fitness tips, then like Fitness Made EZ on Facebook, or follow @FitnessMadeEZ on Twitter - The most straight talking and knowledgeable source that I've ever encountered when it comes to the subject of fitness. Anyway back to the real reason for this post - the women's workout. Had a few requests to post this so I'm more than happy to! Glad to get both men and women involved in the training. This workout is going to be a hell of a lot different to the previous ones, going to focus a lot more on toning, flexibility, and general weight loss. I see a lot of women complaining that they hate their legs, or their arse, or their stomach, so those are the areas that I've focused on when collating this workout. Also try to bear in mind that this particular plan is a beginner's plan, if people try it and find it too easy then I'll be more than happy to post an advanced version. I've tried to keep it cardio based, with fairly low weights to allow for losing fat and just toning the muscle that you already have. It's a circuit of 11 exercises, each exercise can be executed for one minute, 45 seconds, or 30 seconds each depending on what kind of intensity you're looking for. Try and repeat the circuit at least twice, possibly more if you're opting to do the exercises for less than a minute at a time. You'll need a kettlebell (8kg if possible), a bench, a swiss ball, a medicine ball, and a set of dumbbells (not too light, but not too heavy, possibly 3-6 kg).

Goblet Squats (Holding Kettlebell with both hands, perform a squat movement)

Mountain Climbers

Plank

Press Ups (feel free to do these on your knees if you're not confident with them)

Lunges (With or without dumbbells, alternating legs)

Swiss Ball Crunches

Leg Raises (Lying flat on a bench, bend at the hips to raise your legs into a 90 degree angle with your body)

Kettlebell Deadlifts (Holding the handle of a kettlebell in both hands, use a wide stance and perform a deadlift motion)

Kettlebell Swings (Adopt a wide stance, grip the handle of the kettlebell with both hands, bending your knees slightly, proceed to swing it forwards, using your hips for momentum

Killer Twists (Whilst holding a medicine ball between both hands, stand with your legs shoulder width apart, bending your knees slightly. Begin the motion with the ball held out by your hip, then proceed with a sweeping motion to the opposite side of your body, twisting your upper body as you do this - The ball should end up as far behind you as you can stretch, around shoulder height)

Kettlebell Twists (From a seated position, holding the kettlebell with both hands, raise your legs slightly off the floor, also raise your upper body off the floor at the same time. Whilst holding this position, proceed to rotate your upper body to full extension, alternate left to right)

So there you go, your beginners female workout. As you can see there's a large focus on core and legs and its cardio based too. Try to push out as many reps as you can in the time that you've allocated. Try and perform this workout three times a week, resting between training days. Hope this is useful to everyone and as always, if you have any questions or suggestions you can comment on here, or follow and tweet me at @_Bazinga_Punk_  - all responses will be greatly appreciated.

Keep testing the limits!
