Kettlebells

Originating in Russia, kettlebells are used to perform ballistic exercises that combine cardiovascular, strength and flexibility training. They have been shown to significantly improve strength, power, and endurance (Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, January 2010), and burn 272 calories in only 20 minutes. Simply put, the kettlebell might be the most efficient exercise tool out there right now.

Circuit Training

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a form of conditioning that keeps your heart rate elevated for the duration of the workout. By limiting the amount of rest you would normally take in between sets, this type of training builds both muscular strength and endurance, while also improving your aerobic and anaerobic capacities. It’s an ideal choice for someone looking to lose weight and get stronger at the same time!
