The goal of our workout is to improve the overall fitness of the participants.  The kettlebells offer an excellent method of resistance training and cardio.  Our last two kettlebell sessions we have added sprint sessions between each kettlebell set.  These sprinting sessions help increase the heart rate between sessions giving us a longer duration of optimal calorie burning.    The focus today was on incorporating legs with our workout so we did sets of squats and presses and after each set of 12 reps we did a one minute run of 30 seconds sprinting 30 seconds jogging.
