To my way of thinking this is what kettlebelling is all about:
Take a heavy object, in this case a pood, and keep it moving in a natural way as the spirit moves you for a goodly time. We can't all be roofers carrying bags of slag and tarpaper rolls up to the roof and mopping hot pitch with a double skein. But we can achieve a similar level of fitness (minus the beer) by swinging a kettlebell freestyle like these nature lovers on the beach:

swings,
, presses, farmer carries (just holding the damn thing with arms by your side),
figure-eights, some
wind mills, a little
kettlebell juggling and the occasional
Turkish get-up.
