The kettlebell is a simple piece of exercise equipment that can be found in most commercial gyms, community centers and local sporting good stores. It is also one of the most effective conditioing tools you will ever get your hands on.
My training partner Jordy and I run a group called the East Van Barbell Club. We train together several times a week and every Tuesday we finish the workout with some type of kettlebell conditioning. We almost always include a swing variation, squats, burpees and plank holds because they are all fairy easy to do and give you the most bang for your buck!
Here are a few of of our favorite finishers.
