Kettlebells, first popularised in Russia (where kettlebell training is even a national sport), have enjoyed a recent resurgence – and rightly so.
Due to its shape, size and easy-to-grip handle, the kettlebell is an incredibly versatile bit of kit, capable of doing everything the dumbbell can and more: from strength exercises, to power, to unilateral moves like the walking lunge.
Give the following workout a go to get your muscles firing and lungs burning.
Take each round in turn, completing the exercises back-to-back with minimal rest. Once 3 sets are complete, give yourself a 90-second breather before moving onto the next round.
