One of the best training tools for supreme fitness and physical conditioning is not new. In fact it's centuries old. Kettlebells came into being sometime during the 17th century in Eastern Europe. Popularized by strongmen during Tsarist Russia, kettlebells have survived centuries for one reason and one reason only: they work.
Tough Kettlebell Conditioning Workout

Here’s a tough conditioning workout that should take about 15 minutes if you’re in shape:

9 Burpees

10 Burpees
The above was done while wearing a weight vest with 18 lbs.
I was going every minute on the minute until round 6. I had to talk to my wife on round 8 when she dropped off my son. I needed to suck wind anyway.
Overall it wasn’t too taxing but it was hard on the legs. Something about the transition between the two drills (and of course the vest did not make it easy either). My grip is still reeling following my second go of the Westside Snatch Workout.
This is how the burpees were done:

Swings were at least shoulder height.
