Fitgirl: Mens Health Spartacus work out

http://www.menshealth.com/spartacus/workouts/

One of the YMCA Fitness Volunteers spread the word on this work out, it is a fun,high intensity circuit of 10 exercises that you do 3 times through.  You do each exercise for 1 minute each, and then there is a 15 seconds transition time, but I skip the transitions so I can get the workout down ASAP.  After the full circuit of 10 exercises you can take 2 minutes to recovery, and then back through the circuit 2 more times.

Check out this youtube clip of the work out:

For weight I use 10 lbs & 15 lbs dumbbells and a 25 lbs. Kettlebell.
1. Goblet Squat: KB
2. Mountain Climbers
3. Single Arm KB Swing (30 sec each side)
4. T - Push ups 10 lbs.
5. Split Jump
6. Dumbbell Row 15 lbs.
7. Dumbbell Side Lunge 15 lbs.
8. Push up Position Row 15 lbs.
9. Lunge with Core Rotation KB
10. Push Press 10 lbs.

This is a good workout to get the heart rate going but still do some muscle conditioning.  I definitely recommend giving it a shot!
