14.30 with 1,5 pood kettlebell
a good alternative for beginners (or heavyweights like me) is to set a hiit program, 10 1 minute rounds with 1 minute rest between, 1 round burpees, 1 round pull-swings, and take note of the total amount of reps you can do.
have fun!

Just finished for the first time ever. 19:44… was very broken down by the end but loved finishing. The burpees kill me (advanced). Now to lower the time. The guy who just posted has shown me everything I know. (Charlie)

1 pood is actually 16 kg. not 23 lbs. 2 poods is 32 kg.
Males typically use a 16 kg for this and women and 8kg or 12kg.

I certified under the guy who created the workout!

[...] in just under 20 minutes which I've been told is not bad for a first time. Now to drop that time. http://theworkout.com/free-workout-routines/chrissy/

Sounds like a great workout after Chrissy!

For the Chrissy kettle bell weight I would start with:
- 1 pood (23 lbs) then possibly work up to 1.5 pood (44 lbs) …2 pood is 53 lbs and too heavy for most in the amount of reps in Chrissy.
- for beginner’s use 1/2 pood kettle bell.

What size KB was I supposed to use???
The run was good, 1 mile. Just a jog, no bearcrawls, but I ran the staduim stairs afterwards. (its a small stadium)Followed with some tabata bagwork when I got home . Went to the track with my son, so the mile was broken up, but fun goofing around with the little guy. It was probably a good follow to that chrissy and got everything loosened up a bit!

Joe, I took the Chrissy Challenge. 2 words Buh – Rutal!!!
Using a 35lb Kettlebell my time was 32:43. We’ll call it beginner level, since I didn’t do the high knee raises. Impressive workout. I’ll work on my burpees and see how my time improves. Haven’t done them in a while.
Tomorrow is my run day. Not sure if I’ll just run or add the Bearcrawl/Lunge horses to the end of it. We’ll see how I’m walking
Thanks for all your posts and motivation! Have a great weekend!
