Basic Full Body Kettle Bell Workout

Lift heavy if you can with this kettle bell workout, but if all you have is light kettlebell just increase your reps and density (do more in less time).
This is a basic full-body kettle bell workout I do when I want a quick full-body workout.
Simple, no frills, and quick.
- Two-Hand Swing – 20 reps
- One-arm Swing – 10-12 reps each arm
- One-arm (Hang) Clean – 10-12 reps each arm
- Overhead Clean – 10-12 reps each arm
- One-arm Row – 10-12 reps each side
Repeat the circuit if desired, up to three times or for 20 minutes straight with a 45 second rest between circuits. You can also add some Turkish get-ups if you’re feeling froggy.
Hey! Do you like working out with -
- Kettlebells
- Sandbags
- Ropes
- Heavy bags
- Heavy stuff like rocks and logs
- Tires
- Sledgehammers
And other various random manly objects?
Then you should take a look at this workout program. It takes kettle bell workouts and combines them with all kinds of crazy strength and muscle-building routines.
But only get it if you’re serious about functional strength and muscle.
