The Kettlebell Workout

Kettlebells (Cannonball-like weights with thick handles)

Kettlebells were the weapon of choice for Russian lifters more than a century ago. They're just now getting their due in America. The weights offer all the benefits of dumbbell training, plus a few more. The super-thick handles challenge your grip, and the position of the weight in relation to the handle works your core extra hard.

Directions -

Target Muscles:
Chest and Shoulders, Core, Grip, Legs

Workout Level:
Beginners

Frequency:
Twice per week.

How To Do It:
Perform the exercises as a circuit, completing one set for each, one after the other. Rest as needed between sets. If you're new to kettlebell training, complete two circuits. If you're more experienced, do three to five circuits. Choose a weight that allows you to complete 12-15 reps for each exercise.
