Tracy Reifkind demonstrates a great kettlebell exercise - the Waiter’s Walk (performed here in conjunction with a bit of kettlebell snatching) [streaming, 3.7mb .flv download]. Not bad at all.
"Sonnon is without doubt one of the top conditioning coaches in the US, the thinking man's coach. He is the hologram man. Try and hit him and he disappears."

The Gymboss is a superb interval timer. As Jim noted:
'20 seconds never felt so long, 10 seconds never so short, and four minutes never so painful.'
Love it.
