]]>Kettlebell exercises engage multiple muscle groups at once, providing a full-body workout that’s efficient and effective. Whether you’re doing swings, squats, or lunges, you’ll be working your legs, core, back, and arms all at once.
Kettlebell exercises are also great for cardiovascular conditioning. Moves like the kettlebell swing get your heart rate up and challenge your cardiovascular system, making them a great addition to any cardio routine.
Because kettlebell exercises involve dynamic movements and require you to stabilize your body, they can help improve your balance and coordination over time. This can translate to better performance in other areas of your life, such as sports or dance.
Regular kettlebell workouts can also lead to increased strength and muscle mass. The combination of resistance and cardiovascular training provided by kettlebell exercises can help build lean muscle and boost your overall fitness.
Finally, one of the biggest benefits of exercising with kettlebells is their convenience and versatility. Kettlebells are small and easy to store, making them a great option for at-home workouts. They can also be used in a variety of ways, from traditional strength training exercises to high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts.

]]>This might remind you of a lunge, but it is actually a squat and is used to show you which leg is weaker. For this squat, you will need a bench and any sort of weight. You can use a dumbbell, kettlebell, or barbell. You will stand in front of the bench, put one foot up on the bench behind you and use the leg standing on the floor to drive the movement. The foot on the bench should not be taking the weight or pushing the motion. You will feel the burn in your thighs and glutes with this exercise.
The sumo squat works on the side of the glutes and the inner thighs. You will want to stand on an elevated platform, either two steps or benches—in a wide stance and take a dumbbell in both hands and go as low as you can—without compensating your knees, holding the dumbbell between your legs. Since the range of motion is a little shorter, you can actually hold a higher weight than you would do with the goblet squat.
The back squat is the most popular of squats for strengthening the legs, core, and glutes. It can take time to reach a good depth and weight, but with a lot of mobility exercises and persistence you will reap the results with this exercise.

]]>Girvan’s fitness channel is one of the fastest-growing on YouTube, and she’s close to reaching 500,000 subscribers right now. Her workout videos truly allow you to relive the feeling of being at the gym in the comfort of your home, and that’s certainly the case with her kettlebell workout.
Before trying to do this at home, keep in mind that this workout requires a lot of stability and strength of your core. Girvan is using a 10-kilogram kettlebell, but she’s a pro, so it’s recommended to go with a lighter option if you’re still a beginner—and also do some of the exercises at a slower pace.
Girvan did 40 seconds of work and 20 seconds of rest for each exercise, before repeating it for another time. Some of the exercises included in this routine are windmills, halos, dead stop swings, and different variations of squats and lunges.

]]>This exercise teaches you how to pick things up from the floor safely while strengthening your hamstrings and glutes. To complete this exercise, start with the kettlebell on the ground and the handle in line with your ankles. Make sure your knees are soft and send your butt back while keeping your arms straight and grabbing the handle of the weight with both hands. Then, reverse the motion with your hips to come up and repeat.
The goblet squat works your shoulders, core, and quads making it a functional movement. Start by holding the kettlebell with both hands in front of your chest, under your chin. Then, send your hips back and down as you squat as low as you can.
This exercise combines speed, power, strength, and coordination and it will get your heart racing. To start, place the kettlebell on the ground in front of you and with your knees slightly bent and arms straight, reach forward and grab the kettlebell by the handle, pushing it between your legs. Then move your hips forward and squeeze you butt to return to the standing position. Make sure you keep your core engaged throughout this exercise.

]]>Start with your hips back, knees bent a little, and your torso leaning forward with your legs a little wider than hip-width apart. Hold the kettlebell with both hands, arms extended towards the floor. In one motion squeeze the glutes, straighten the legs, lift the torso and bring the hips forward all whilst swinging the weight to shoulder height. Arms should be straight at all times and keep the core tight. Bring back to start and repeat 14 times.
Start with feet together, a kettlebell in each hand, and arms by your side. Engage the abs and walk with the back straight the length of the room you are working in. Walk back to the start. Do this three times.
Holding a kettlebell in each hand, palms facing the body start with the legs together. Keeping your hips level, put your body weight on the left leg and extend the right leg behind you whilst lowering the torso and weights towards the ground.

]]>Name of this exercise pretty much says it all. You’ll start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, and both hands on the handle. Once that’s done, you should slightly bend your knees before swinging the bell between your legs. Proceed by straightening your legs and swinging the bell to chin height.
Holding your bell in the goblet position means it’s positioned upside down with the handle pointing towards the floor. Once your bell is in place, it’s time to do the squat. Just make sure you’ve mastered this exercise before adding kettlebells to the mix, so you wouldn’t sustain any injuries.
At the very start, you should hold the bell in your right hand while resting it on the back of your wrist. Keep going by lowering into a squat, and pressing your right arm overhead once you return into standing position.

]]>Many newbies tend to squat while doing their swings, instead of deadlifting the kettlebell. You’re supposed to hinge at your hips while doing this exercise, instead of bending your hips and knees the way you usually do while squatting.
If you’re feeling back pain after doing kettlebell swings, it’s probably because your back is too rounded during this exercise. It’s very important to keep your spine straight unless you’re trying to get injured on purpose.
Kettlebell swings are supposed to build your hamstrings, glutes and lower back. You won’t accomplish this goal if you’re simply using your arms and shoulders to guide and control this piece of equipment.
