This is my 15 minute workout I use when I am unable to do any cardio, and want to work both my upper body and lower body at the same time.  If you are not familiar with the russian kettlebell it is an awesome peice of fitness equipment.   This is a multiset style workout where you move from one exercise to the next in a series, usually 3-4 sets per exercise.  Good luck!!!  I hope you enjoy.

Circuit #1

Exercise #1 Kettlebell Swings 20-25 reps

Exercise #2 Sumo Squat with an Upright Rows 15-20 reps

Exercise #3 Kettlebell Single Arm Rows 12-15 reps

***4  sets of each exercise, bumping up weight if necessary.****

Take a short breather and move onto your next circuit.

Circuit #2

Exercise #1  Squat and Press 12-20 reps

Exercise #2 Kettlebell lunges 10-15 reps

Exercise #3 Behind the Head Triceps Extensions 10-15 reps

I recommend that this workout only be done with a kettlebell.  Some of the kettlebell exercise can be done with a dumbbell, but it does not have the same effect.  Dragon Door has the best kettlebells in the business.  There are other sporting goods stores that sale kettlebells that you can purchase locally, but too date I have not found one I am happy with.  They all have handles that are too thick and just don’t fit your hands.
