Would this be too much exercise?

I have started running about 4-5 times a week. Kettle bells twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday. Would it be too much if I do bodyweight exercises on Monday, Wednesday and Friday?

    If you think you can handle it, then have fun. Just make sure you fuel up properly. Eat enough food so you don't over-do it and burn out.

    Nope. Not too much.
    If it feels like too much for you, scale back.

    Only your body can define "too much."

    The only concern would be how much overlap there is between your bodyweight exercises and your kettleball exercise. I do not need to work out my upper body again after working on my progressions for pull ups, push ups, dips, etc.

    I usually do body weight exercises on the days I run. Though, I only stick to these: pushups, pullups, crunches, planks, hip raises OR I just combine everything into doing burpees w/ pullups until failure.

    Let your body be your guide. Everyone is different, but watch those shoulders they can grab you by the booboo.

    My only advice would be to make sure you work your way up gradually and every 4th week could be recovery (20%ish fewer reps less weight)
