Kettlebell Quickie!

Summer is fast approaching, and i always like to sneak in a couple extra short sessions around this time of year to help lean out a little. One of the best and most productive ways to do this is to do timed sets and/or complexes with a light to medium heavy kettlebell - great way to get the heart rate through the roof and to hit every muscle in the body, especially the posterior chain. Check out what I did yesterday, with only a few minutes of time to spare...

Warm Up (5 minutes w/out putting the kettlebell down)
kb sling shots x 2 min (to the left x 1 min/to the right x 1 min)
kb figure 8's x 2 min

1. snatches x 5 (l/r)
2. clean and press x 5
3. squats x 10
4. reverse lunges x 10
5. high pulls x 5
6. bent over rows x 5
7. 2H swings x 10
