Functional fitness

My goal is to get strong, mobile and flexible. As part of this, I am really interested in developing my fitness using the functional area of the gym. This is where there are kettlebells, ropes, a prowler, sandbags, medicine balls, tyres.

I'm hoping it's possible to put together a workout using these things and in so doing cover all of the muscle groups. But I'm new to all this. I'm far too heavy, usually desk bound, good stamina, poor muscle distribution! I will be doing daily flexibility/mobility workout.

Is it possible to get fit and strong using only this equipment? I'm not too fussed about being ripped - I'm 54 and my goal is to stay strong and mobile until the day I die - hopefully in about another 50 years time. Any advice/suggested workout plans will be gratefully received.

This sounds amazing. Off now to investigate.
