Work your legs, arms, chest, core, and more with this quick and effective workout.
You might think you need two hours in a state-of-the-art gym to get a full-body workout. In reality, all you need is 20 minutes and a single kettlebell.
Kettlebells are our top pick for this kind of workout, thanks to their easy-to-grab handles and ergonomic shape, perfect for compound exercises like the squat clean. However, any weight will do in most cases—be it an adjustable dumbbell or even a full water bottle.
Now that you've got your gear, it's time to dive into the workout presented by fitness coach Rhiannon Bailey. As mentioned earlier, this session uses just one kettlebell and takes only 20 minutes, but it will work your entire body, get your heart rate up, and boost your metabolism.
Keeping things simple and effective, this workout consists of just four moves: the squat clean, kettlebell swings, push-ups with a transfer, and Russian twist extensions. If any of these exercises are new to you, check out Bailey's video below to see how each move should be performed. Once you've got the technique down, jump right in!
Bailey challenges participants to perform these four exercises in a circuit format, doing each move for 40 seconds followed by 20 seconds of rest. Repeat this circuit five times to hit the 20-minute mark, and consider your workout done.
So, let's go! No excuses, and have fun with this short but intense program!
