All You Need for This 20-Minute Full-Body Workout Is a Kettlebell

Personal trainers consistently praise kettlebells for being a functional piece of equipment you can incorporate into any strength-training workout. Even if you're usually partial to barbells, it's hard to refute the versatility of this weight.

This 20-minute kettlebell workout — created by Mathew Forzaglia, certified personal trainer and founder of Forzag Fitness on the NEOU App — consists of three circuits, wrapping up with an AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) finisher. Keep your form in mind as you move from exercise to exercise and enjoy the full-body burn.
