Kettlebell exercises

You'll find a range of kettlebell training exercises with videos, illustrations and instructions in our exercise directory.

Kettlebell exercises are efficient - you're not only lifting weights, but swinging them. Movements are explosive and controlled, and the combination of weight training with cardio exercise is what makes kettlebell training as highly effective as it is.

The kettlebell is a solid ball of steel allowing you to train your entire body, the handle acting as a hinge. There are hundreds of possible kettlebell exercises that will help you build true strength, shape your physique and burn fat. Kettlebells are the ultimate functional fitness equipment.

When just starting out with kettlebell training we recommend that you begin by mastering the Kettlebell Swing exercise. It's a dynamic exercise that will teach you how to swing and control the kettlebell in a safe manner, primarily working the lower body leg muscles. It's also an intense exercise and will show you just why kettlebells are so perfect for fitness and requires speed, power, strength, and endurance in one simple movement.

When you have mastered the Kettlebell Swing try some of the more complex kettlebell exercises. You will find guides on the following in our kettlebell exercise database:

• Kettlebell Snatch
• Kettlebell Bent-over Row
• Kettlebell Squat
• Kettlebell Turkish Get-up
