15-Must Do Kettlebell Exercises

Published: Tue, 12/10/19

The kettlebell is easily one of the most diverse strength tools available. With just one KB you can train your entire body effectively. In recent years (the last decade or so) KBs have become extremely popular... you can find pink and yellow - 5, 10 and 20 lb kettlebells all over the place making it less intimidating for the beginner lifters and the ladies. This did not used to be the case....

Initially the kettlebell came over from Russia a few decades ago and took time to gain popularity. This intimidating iron ball with a handle on it was not available in most gyms. Picking up a 24kg (53 lb) kettlebell for the first time gets your attention. It DOES NOT feel like a dumbbell. Handling it doesn't feel like anything you've ever done before however the benefits of using it well are hard to count.

Kettlebell training strengthens your muscles, connective tissue, mind-muscle connection, improves breathing practices, improves mental focus, brings balance to the body, corrects poor posture and the list goes on...

While there are literally 100s of exercises to do with kettlebells, these happen to be 15 of my favorite. Doing just a fraction of these exercises will help strengthen the entire body and wear you out!
