15 Things You Can Do With a Kettlebell

Any of my clients and former clients will confirm that I always tend to incorporate some form of kettlebell work into most sessions.

Why?

1. There are some exercises which are only suitable for kettlebells
2. Kettlebell variations of traditional gym exercises often add an element of skill to a workout
3. Some kettlebell exercises and flows can allow your body to move freely unlike many traditional gym exercises

I have my own kettlebells at home and I am one of “those types” that enjoys spending my free time in the garden throwing them around and moving around through a variety of movements. I love kettlebells... there... I said it!

Here are 15 exercises that have helped me fall in love with kettlebells.

NOTE: If you’ve never had any in-person guidance with kettlebells then PLEASE do so. Do NOT use images in magazines (and blogs like this) as enough guidance.

They’re fun, different and challenging. If you DON’T use kettlebells on a weekly basis then you’re missing out!
