Grab yourself a Kettlebell, a bench/box and a mat. This lower body strength and cardio circuit is sure to torch some fat and build a sweat. Perform each set for 60 seconds and rest for 30 seconds in between exercises. Repeat circuit for 5 rounds.
 
Kettlebell Stiff Leg Deadlifts

• Take hold of a kettlebell by the handle with both hands
• Stand up straight with a slight bend in the knees
• Bend forwards from the waist keeping the legs stiff and lower the kettlebell towards the floor
• At the bottom of the movement, pause for a second but do not bounce
• Return to the upright position in a smooth manner

 
 
Step Ups (using a bench)

• To start, place your entire right foot onto the bench
• Press through your right heel as you step onto the bench, bringing your left leg up and driving it into the air into the position shown below
• Return to the starting position by stepping down with the right foot, then the left so both feet are on the floor
• Repeat step 1 with opposite foot

   
Kettlebell Squats

• Stand with feet wide, toes pointing forward, and hold the kettlebell in front of you with palms facing toward you
• Keeping your chest lifted, squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground
• Pause, and then rise to standing and repeat

   
Glute Bridge

• Lie face up on the floor, with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground
• Keep your arms at your side with your palms down
• Lift your hips off the ground until your knees, hips and shoulders form a straight line
• Squeeze those glutes hard and keep your abs drawn in so you don’t overextend your back during the exercise
• Hold your bridged position for a couple of seconds before easing back down

   
 
Pick a ball and a weight you can handle. Shown here 26lb kettlebell. This circuit is a great way to get some much-needed mobility work while getting a fat-burning workout.
