"Metabolic 150" & HIIT Incline Cardio...

I decided to do 1/2 of the metabolic 300 and finish with 15 minutes of incline HIIT.

For the first 3 rounds/circuits, I opted for double 16kg kettlebells, which at 72lbs is a bit more than 1/3 my body weight, about 40%. I currently weight 165lbs.

For my first round,I performed:
10 Double Swings
10 Double Snatches
10 Double Front Squats
10 Double Military Press
10 Renegade Rows w/ push-ups*I did a push-up, then Row L/R for 10 reps

4 minute rest
Round 2:
10 See Saw Presses
10 Bent-Over Rows*w/ KB between the legs
10 Double Front Squats
10 High-Pull Swings
10 Crush push-ups

4 min rest

Round 3:

10 Double KB Cleans
10 Double Upright Rows
10 Double Swing
10 Jump Shrugs
10 Incline KB Flys

I finished with:

High Intensity Interval Training on the treadmill at an incline of 15%. I alternated between walking at 4 MPH and running at 8mph for 30 seconds. I did this for 15 minutes. According to the treadmill I burned 257 calories and reached a maximum heart rate of 180 beats per minute.
