Total body toning with kettle bells

Kettle bells are a fun workout tool that can work your entire body with just a few simple moves.  This total body strength workout comes from Self.com.  I added in 2 minute high intensity intervals on the elliptical (total of 65 minutes) for added calorie burning.  With the cardio intervals my workout was 1 hour 45 minutes long.  I also did 3 sets of 15 reps of each strength move.  I have a 10 pound kettle bell, but use the weight you feel comfortable with.

Don't forget to warm up before you start, and cool down at the end of the workout.  Be sure to stretch all your muscles for at least 30 seconds and drink plenty of water.
