Want a full-body workout? Raise the bell with this full-body kettlebell workout!
Want a full-body workout with only one piece of equipment? Try this kettlebell workout! It does help if you have several different weight variants of kettlebells, but you can get by with one lighter weight one if you up the reps for the exercises you find easy. Try this workout, aiming for 15 reps per exercise and performing three rounds of the lower and upper body sequences. The whole workout should last about 30 minutes.
1. Start with your legs a little wider than hip-width apart. Hold the kettlebell with both hands, arms extended down to the ground.
2. Hinge forward, with your back straight, until the kettlebell reaches in between your legs.
3. Using your hips, thrust yourself back up to a standing position. The weight will thrust up with you — no need to to use your arms to bring it back up. It should all be momentum in your arms and control, stability, and power with your legs and hips.
(The real burners! - Do 15 reps on each side)
