I thought this might be too easy, so I added the time component. It turned out to be one of most difficult workouts I've done. I was out of breath almost the entire 35 minutes. I actually laid in the floor for a while when I was done.

During the third circuit kettlebell swings I thought of this quote, which is in Prometheus, smiled, and tried not to mind.
