Strength and Endurance Routines
For Kettlebell Training

These are two kettlebell workouts you can use. One is tailored for strength, the other for stamina.

I've said it other places, but it bears repeating; without a good plan, your workouts will go nowhere! Having faith in your plan will keep you focused and looking for real results.

The Kettlebell Swings

The single best exercise I have found for leg endurance. Kettlebell workouts with swings give you legs that keep on going long after other people's have given out.

Also, it's much less stressful on the knees than running. Another reason I like it so much, since I really like my knees.

The Kettlebell Press

The kettlebell press hits your upper body hard. It's a great lift for shoulders and arms - and it feels great to push that piece of metal over your head in victory!

Be careful with this exercise, though. If you are too enthusiastic when you start you can damage you rotator cuff - not fun. So, know your limits and lift heavy right up to them.

The Kettlebell Clean

And the kettlebell clean, this is an exercise that your whole body works to perform. This explosive movement with your legs and upper body is great for sports and martial arts.

The Kettlebell Clean and Press

This exercise is a combination of the clean and press, unsurprisingly. You get the benefits of both explosive movements in one exercise!

Learn the correct form for the exercise and use it to build functional, dynamic strength. Try it once you've got the hang of the clean and press individually - then add it to your own kettlebell workouts.

The Turkish Get Up Exercise

The turkish get up is another great exercise, for kettlebells or dumbbells. It develops full body strength and a strong core.

Kettlebell Snatches: A How-To Guide

Learn how to safely do kettlebell snatches. These are more advanced than swings and cleans, but are even more intense.
