Kettlebells are the first thing that comes to mind, for something that’s quick, effective, and convenient.

In a few minutes you can do some swings and Turkish get ups.

It’s the thing I’ve stuck with most consistently over the years. I think I heard about it from Tim Ferriss [0], and also found the book ‘Kettlebell Simple and Sinister’ by Pavel Tsatsouline to be a solid resource.

The idea that I could do something for just 10-20 minutes per week was appealing. From the link below:

”I…purchased one 53-pound kettlebell. I did nothing more than one set of 75 swings one hour after a light, protein-rich breakfast, twice a week on Mondays and Fridays. In the beginning, I couldn’t complete 75 consecutive repetitions, so I did multiple sets with 60 seconds between until I totaled 75. Total swing time for the entire week was 10–20 minutes.”
