Kettlebell goblet squat

If you're a strength training addict who thrives on new ways to challenge the body, kettlebell couplet workouts are a great option for testing your limits and spicing things up.

Give this blown-out workout a shot. (Click the links for Stehle's visual guides to these exercises.)
