These two exercises will challenge your entire body and will have your muscle burning. And they take only 15 minutes or less. What are they? The kettlebell swing and the squat thrust. The goal is to do 15 repetitions of the kettlebell swing followed immediately by 15 reps of the squat thrust. With little rest, then do 14 reps of the swing followed by 14 reps of the squat thrust. Continue this pattern until you complete only one rep of each exercise. When starting out, you may find you can’t even finish, and that’s OK. Just start with a lower number like 4 and work your way up as you improve your fitness. To see how to correctly perform these exercises, go to YouTube.com and search “kettlebell swing” and “squat thrust.” For a high-quality, adjustable kettlebell, visit online at ironmaster.com.
