Todays kettlebell workout

If you are a regular user of the Kettlebell you will know the benefits it brings to both your strength and conditioning.

In our Kettlebell (KB) class today we used what we call 'ladders' to gradually work up into a more intense circuit.

Here is what we did:

  • KB swings x 45seconds
REST 30-60
  • Single arm kettlebell row 45 seconds/side + KB Swings x 45
REST 30-60
  • Clean & Press x 45/side + Single arm row x 45/side + Swings 45 
REST 30-60
  • Burpees x 45 + Clean & Press x 45/side + Single arm rows x 45/side + Swings 45 
REST 30-60
  • Alternate Lunges x 45 + Burpees x 45 + Clean & Press x 45/side + Single arm rows x 45/side + Swings 45 
REST 30-60
  • Pushups x 45 + Alternate Lunges x 45 +Burpees x 45 + Clean & Press x 45/side + Single arm rows x 45/side + Swings 45 


This reduces rest time substantially. After a warm up it was non-stop work for 30 minutes, followed by a cooldown and stretch.

You can apply this form of training to a body weight workout, core work out, dumbells etc. It's a great way to utilise time if you train on your lunch break or if you have a busy shedule.

Why not come along to our Kettlebell classes for an intense workout for all abilities.

Alternatively, why not get a programme from a trainer for the gym or at home when you can't make it in.
 

Oli.
