My training plan totally on it's head....

Hey,

Finally got some access to a computer now, so will be checking out the site a bit more.

I originally had a programme done by Alex a while back, and had absolutely fantastic results. I have now moved area, and for the next few months I am not going to be able to afford a gym membership along side my training fees. My questions are as follows;

• I'm considering spending out a little bit on a kettle bell to do some training outside. What is a good weight to start at, or is it a case of just trying out a few and going with what suits? Also, is there any other cheapish equipment things people use or would recommend. I'm currently doing running and bodyweight stuff in a park near me in the mornings, so I would have to take stuff with me.
  
  

This question is aimed a bit more at Alex. Now that I am trying to come up with a routine for a few months while a I save up some money, are there any particular principles I should be considering? Or could I just try and match the new routine as close as possible to my current plan?

Many thanks in advance,

Chris
