Here is a kettlebell workout for you to start your week strong.

It’s called a chipper because you “chip away” at the prescribed amount of reps until complete, at which point you go to the next move.

For example – the first exercise the workout calls for is KB Goblet Squats. You’ll need to do 50. So you could do 20, then rest 30 seconds or so, then do 15, then rest 30 seconds or so more, then 15 more, then move on to the next exercise. Or you could do five sets of 10 with 30 seconds rest between. Or whatever works for you.

Bottom line – it’s a great way to get an intense, full-body workout in a short amount of time… all you need is a kettlebell or two and about 20 or 30 minutes… and it’s a lot of fun, too:
