There were two more rounds but I had to throw in the towel. My trainer said this was a beginner program. I would hate to see what the fucking professional program looks like! The mountain climbers are a mother fucker!

it never needs to be that complex though. The goal is high intensity tapping into your vo2 max levels. You can do that on an exercise bike at home even. Just warm up slow.. then burn for 30 seconds, hard as you can. 2 mins slow, catch your breath... then burn for 30. See how many rounds you can do before you have nothing left. After that you can increase to 45 and then some but anything too long defeats the purpose, or means you aren't giving it everything with your burn. HIIT doesn't need to be a full body movement to be effective, probably shouldn't be.
Nothing wrong with doing all that shit you are doing but its a bit all over the place and can risk injury at high intensity speeds. In other words you can't 'sprint' with kettle bells.
