If you’re looking for a fun and effective way to amp up your workout routine, look no further than kettlebells. These versatile fitness tools have been gaining popularity in recent years, and for good reason! Here are just five of the many benefits of exercising with kettlebells.

Provides Full Body Workout

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.

Great for Cardiovascular Conditioning

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.

Improves Balance and Coordination

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.

Increases Strength and Muscle Mass

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.

Convenience and Versatility

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.

Not everyone is super confident in the gym and that’s okay! Sometimes all you need to work up your confidence is to simply start going to the gym and getting more comfortable in the environment. This is why we love the “shy girl” workout routines spreading all over TikTok and Instagram. Shy Girl workouts are workouts that tend to use limited equipment, and can usually be performed in the corner of the gym—perfect for those of you that don’t want a lot of eyes on you as you work out. Here is a great Shy Girl Workout Routine that works the whole body!

RDL to Row

This compound movement is a great way to hit multiple parts of the body, saving time and another trip to the weight rack! Start with a Romanian Deadlift with two dumbbells. As you straighten your back, go right into a row. Repeat and feel the burn in your hamstrings, glutes, and arms.

Goblet Squats

Goblet squats can be done with either dumbbells or a kettlebell. Widen your stance and pick a heavy weight, feeling the burn in your glutes as you do squats. 

Dumbbell Overhead Press

Make those shoulders burn with a dumbbell overhead press. This is a great movement because it’s way more challenging than it looks!

Mountain Climbers

Finish off your shy girl workout with mountain climbers. This finisher will have your whole body burning in the best way!

Have bodyweight abs exercises become too easy for you? Then it’s time to start adding a weighted ball, dumbbells, or a kettlebell for more intensity to enhance your core definition. Resistance will make the muscles work harder and you will see the results faster. Here are the top four weighted abs exercises for you to try.

Weighted Leg Drops

Lie on your back with your legs straight up to the sky and make sure the core is engaged and your back is flush to the mat. Take a weight in your hands and straighten the arms above the chest. Start to lower one leg down to the floor, without curving your back, and bring it back to the starting point. Then lower the second leg. Keep alternating until you have done 20 on each side.

Plank Dumbbell Drag

Get into plank position, making sure the core is engaged and the hips are not dipping. Place a dumbbell on the floor next to one hand and pass it under the other arm and place it next to the hand. Just go back and forth between each side 20 times, keeping a strong plank position.

Dumbbell Plank Row

Another weighted plank exercise, but this one works your back and biceps. Place two dumbbells on the mat and get into plank position with your hands holding the dumbbell. Make sure to hold your core very tightly, so as not to dip side to side, and then lift one weight and row. Place back to the start position and then lift the other one. Do 10 on each side.

Russian Twist

The Russian Twist is one of the harder weighted abs exercises, but so worth it. You can use a ball, dumbbell, or kettlebell and it can be done with your feet on the floor or lifted in the air, to make it harder. Sit on a mat with your knees bent, and lean the upper body back until you feel the abs engage, holding the weight at your chest. Twist the weight from the middle to one side of your body, close to the ground and hold for one second then all the way through to the other side and hold. Alternate until you have done 10 on each side.

Kettlebells and dumbbells are two of the weight training essentials, and picking one over the other comes down to personal preference. Most people go for dumbbells because they’re more familiar and easier to handle, but here are three reasons why working out with a kettlebell might be a better choice.

Better Cardio

Most people use a kettlebell in weight training, but this equipment piece is also good for your cardio. The swinging movements involved in this exercise will get your heart rate up, but you can always try to mimic them while working out with dumbbells if a kettlebell isn’t your thing.

Muscle Activation

Both dumbbells and kettlebells are great at targeting several muscle groups at once, but kettlebells are more effective when it comes to certain areas. They’ll do an amazing job activating all the muscles in the back of your body in a way that dumbbells simply can’t.

More Effective Workout

Dumbbells may be better when it comes to increasing your muscle mass or strength, but working out with a kettlebell will also improve your endurance and lead to a more effective workout. Your weight is less balanced than when you’re working out with dumbbells, so you’ll have to work much harder to stabilize your core.

Most people do their home workouts without any equipment whatsoever, but amazing things can happen if you add a couple of basic pieces to the mix. If you happen to have a kettlebell at home, this 45-minute workout by Caroline Girvan will be your cup of tea.

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.

Kettlebell is one of the most popular pieces of gym equipment, and there’s a reason why fitness lovers enjoy it so much. If you still haven’t incorporated it into your workouts, here’s a couple of reasons why you should.

Full-Body Workout

The list of exercises you can do with a kettlebell is pretty long, but most of them have one thing in common. They’ll give you an amazing, full-body workout because they activate several muscle groups at the same time.

Great Cardio

Most people who do kettlebell exercises want to strengthen their muscles, but this is not their only benefit. They’re also a great cardio workout, which can be completed quickly because you don’t have to switch their weight to get great results.

Home Training

Kettlebell exercises are a perfect fit for anyone who can’t afford a gym membership. If you think that a kettlebell is too pricy, you can use one of many creative DIY alternatives, such as a jug of milk of laundry detergent since they have a similar shape.

Bent Press ⁣ ⁣ The bent press is a complex, old-time strongman exercise that takes a lot of practice and discipline to master, but it is an incredible way to develop your overhead pressing strength. Before anyone even begins to attempt this movement, it is important that you have a couple boxes checked off so that you can perform this exercise as safely and effectively as possible. ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Proper Shoulder Mobility ⁣ ✅ Proper T-Spine Mobility ⁣ ✅ Proper Shoulder Stability⁣ ✅ Strong Windmill Mechanics ⁣ ✅ Strong Get Up⁣ ⁣ These are the major areas that I tend to focus on when gearing someone up to perform the bent press. Once I feel like someone has met these criteria then we start working into the bent press. ⁣ ⁣ A place that I like to begin when coaching this beast of an exercise is this modified bent press. First, clean a kettlebell with your right arm into the rack position. Then, lunge back and get yourself into a half kneeling position like you would in the get up, but keep the bell in the rack position and not overhead like a normal get up. From there, place your left hand, knee, and foot in a straight line on the ground. Once you are in this position, begin hinging your right hip to the right. As you begin to hinge, start bending your left elbow to the ground while simultaneously straightening out your right arm. ⁣ ⁣ What you are doing here is simulating getting under the kettlebell during the bent press. When we bent press, we are more focused on getting under the bell, rather than pressing the bell. This drill will get your body comfortable with moving under the bell so that you can effectively perform the exercise. Practice this a few times without weight and when you feel confident in your ability to do it, start off light and then work your way up. ⁣ ⁣ The bent press is a great way to develop overhead strength but it’s important to work on each segment of the exercise so that you can get the most out of it. ⁣ ⁣ Happy Hump Day!💪🏽

Kettlebells are sometimes overlooked, but they are actually a really effective piece of equipment to use in the gym. They can help you build muscle and they are very versatile. For squats, you can switch up your dumbbells for kettlebells and instead of shoulder presses, you can try out kettlebell swings. The weight on a kettlebell is distributed differently than a dumbbell so it makes you engage your core more to be able to use them in each exercise. Here are three of the best kettlebell exercises to add to your routine.

Kettlebell Swing

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.

Farmers Carry

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.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9lDB9OhZtk/

Single-Leg Deadlift

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. Stop when your back and right leg are parallel to the floor and come back to start. Do 15 reps for each leg.

If you’re looking for a way to shake things up and add something new to your fitness routine, kettlebells will get you there. They’ll help you tone the muscles in your legs, shoulders, and lower back, but you’ll have to learn a few basic moves in order to achieve these goals.

Kettlebell Swing

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.

Kettlebell Goblet Squat

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.

Kettlebell Push Press

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.

Russian Twist

The Russian Twist is one of the harder weighted abs exercises, but so worth it. You can use a ball, dumbbell, or kettlebell and it can be done with your feet on the floor or lifted in the air, to make it harder. Sit on a mat with your knees bent, and lean the upper body back until you feel the abs engage, holding the weight at your chest. Twist the weight from the middle to one side of your body, close to the ground and hold for one second then all the way through to the other side and hold. Alternate until you have done 10 on each side.

Kettlebells and dumbbells are two of the weight training essentials, and picking one over the other comes down to personal preference. Most people go for dumbbells because they’re more familiar and easier to handle, but here are three reasons why working out with a kettlebell might be a better choice.

Better Cardio

Most people use a kettlebell in weight training, but this equipment piece is also good for your cardio. The swinging movements involved in this exercise will get your heart rate up, but you can always try to mimic them while working out with dumbbells if a kettlebell isn’t your thing.

Muscle Activation

Both dumbbells and kettlebells are great at targeting several muscle groups at once, but kettlebells are more effective when it comes to certain areas. They’ll do an amazing job activating all the muscles in the back of your body in a way that dumbbells simply can’t.

More Effective Workout

Dumbbells may be better when it comes to increasing your muscle mass or strength, but working out with a kettlebell will also improve your endurance and lead to a more effective workout. Your weight is less balanced than when you’re working out with dumbbells, so you’ll have to work much harder to stabilize your core.

Most people do their home workouts without any equipment whatsoever, but amazing things can happen if you add a couple of basic pieces to the mix. If you happen to have a kettlebell at home, this 45-minute workout by Caroline Girvan will be your cup of tea.

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.

Kettlebell is one of the most popular pieces of gym equipment, and there’s a reason why fitness lovers enjoy it so much. If you still haven’t incorporated it into your workouts, here’s a couple of reasons why you should.

Full-Body Workout

The list of exercises you can do with a kettlebell is pretty long, but most of them have one thing in common. They’ll give you an amazing, full-body workout because they activate several muscle groups at the same time.

Great Cardio

Most people who do kettlebell exercises want to strengthen their muscles, but this is not their only benefit. They’re also a great cardio workout, which can be completed quickly because you don’t have to switch their weight to get great results.

Home Training

Kettlebell exercises are a perfect fit for anyone who can’t afford a gym membership. If you think that a kettlebell is too pricy, you can use one of many creative DIY alternatives, such as a jug of milk of laundry detergent since they have a similar shape.

Bent Press ⁣ ⁣ The bent press is a complex, old-time strongman exercise that takes a lot of practice and discipline to master, but it is an incredible way to develop your overhead pressing strength. Before anyone even begins to attempt this movement, it is important that you have a couple boxes checked off so that you can perform this exercise as safely and effectively as possible. ⁣ ⁣ ✅ Proper Shoulder Mobility ⁣ ✅ Proper T-Spine Mobility ⁣ ✅ Proper Shoulder Stability⁣ ✅ Strong Windmill Mechanics ⁣ ✅ Strong Get Up⁣ ⁣ These are the major areas that I tend to focus on when gearing someone up to perform the bent press. Once I feel like someone has met these criteria then we start working into the bent press. ⁣ ⁣ A place that I like to begin when coaching this beast of an exercise is this modified bent press. First, clean a kettlebell with your right arm into the rack position. Then, lunge back and get yourself into a half kneeling position like you would in the get up, but keep the bell in the rack position and not overhead like a normal get up. From there, place your left hand, knee, and foot in a straight line on the ground. Once you are in this position, begin hinging your right hip to the right. As you begin to hinge, start bending your left elbow to the ground while simultaneously straightening out your right arm. ⁣ ⁣ What you are doing here is simulating getting under the kettlebell during the bent press. When we bent press, we are more focused on getting under the bell, rather than pressing the bell. This drill will get your body comfortable with moving under the bell so that you can effectively perform the exercise. Practice this a few times without weight and when you feel confident in your ability to do it, start off light and then work your way up. ⁣ ⁣ The bent press is a great way to develop overhead strength but it’s important to work on each segment of the exercise so that you can get the most out of it. ⁣ ⁣ Happy Hump Day!💪🏽

Kettlebells are sometimes overlooked, but they are actually a really effective piece of equipment to use in the gym. They can help you build muscle and they are very versatile. For squats, you can switch up your dumbbells for kettlebells and instead of shoulder presses, you can try out kettlebell swings. The weight on a kettlebell is distributed differently than a dumbbell so it makes you engage your core more to be able to use them in each exercise. Here are three of the best kettlebell exercises to add to your routine.

Kettlebell Swing

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.

Farmers Carry

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.

Single-Leg Deadlift

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. Stop when your back and right leg are parallel to the floor and come back to start. Do 15 reps for each leg.

If you’re looking for a way to shake things up and add something new to your fitness routine, kettlebells will get you there. They’ll help you tone the muscles in your legs, shoulders, and lower back, but you’ll have to learn a few basic moves in order to achieve these goals.

Kettlebell Swing

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.

Kettlebell Goblet Squat

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.

Kettlebell Push Press

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.
