Kettlebells are one of the oldest strength training weights created thousands of years ago. The first mentions of them date back to ancient Greece.
There are two types of sports kettlebells: one-piece and collapsible. Solid weights are available in weight 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 48, 56 kg. In kettlebell lifting, competitions are held using weights of 16, 24 and 32 kg. But there are strongmen who spat on competitions: they can lift 56-kilogram weights 25 times in splendid isolation.
Recall that today (that is, August 10th) is the Day of kettlebell lifting. Taking this opportunity, let's remember the five traditional exercises with a projectile.
One-handed kettlebell snatch and push
Take the weight by the handle. With a jerk, lift it to your shoulder, turning your wrist palm forward. Push your feet off the floor, standing up and throwing the projectile from your shoulder over your head. The norm is 2 sets of 5 reps.

Arnold Schwarzenegger kettlebell bench press
Raise the weight to your shoulder. The arm is bent at the elbow, and the palm is facing itself. Squeeze the kettlebell over your head while rotating your wrist, palm forward. Then lower the kettlebell to its original position, turning your wrist back into place. The norm is 2 sets of 5 reps.

One-handed Kettlebell Row
Place a kettlebell between your legs. Bend your knees slightly and tilt your body forward. Take the kettlebell by the handle and, as you exhale, pull it to your stomach (you should feel the shoulder blade of your involved hand being pulled back). As you inhale, lower it down. Repeat the required number of times. Change position and repeat the exercise with the other hand. The norm is 2 sets of 5 reps. If you can do more, take a heavier shell.
For balance, rest your knee on the bench. Nothing bad will happen if you have a heavy dumbbell instead of a kettlebell in your hand.

Turkish rise
This exercise uses the core and stabilizer muscles. The norm is 1 set of 10 reps per arm.
Hello dear reader! Let's talk about simple exercises with one kettlebell? In this article, I will talk about five weight lifting exercises: snatch, squat, clean and jerk, cast and swing.
Of course, there are many different kettlebell exercises. But if you are just looking at this magnificent projectile, I advise you to start with the exercises I have listed, performed with one kettlebell. They are very versatile in developing the body and teach how to properly handle the projectile.
Using just one kettlebell is a very useful advantage, not a lack of budget :), as some of my friends think!
First, this is a powerful workout in an asymmetric mode, which seriously develops not only the muscles involved in movement. It is a powerful workout that provides balance and balance to the whole body.
Secondly, there is no overload of the whole body, which is especially important for beginners. Two weights, even 16 kg each, is quite serious for an untrained man. As well as two weights of 6-8 kg for an untrained woman. But one such weight is what you need.
Thirdly, asymmetric exercises, moreover, performed according to the rules of kettlebell lifting, seriously accelerate metabolism. For people with extra pounds, this is another reason to take a closer look at kettlebells.
Fourthly, a weight is a projectile with a displaced center of gravity. Kettlebell exercises develop a wide variety of coordination skills. This is especially valuable in team sports and martial arts.
And let's not forget that a weight is still iron. Kettlebell perfectly develops muscles, makes you stronger, more enduring, more prominent. And with the right approach, it perfectly builds muscle mass. It was working with kettlebells that I realized what I was missing in bodybuilding and powerlifting in order to significantly strengthen my arms and shoulder girdle.
So, let's get acquainted with the exercises. And at the end I will tell you how often and in what quantity to perform them so that there is a result.
Important remark. Of course, in my performance, kettlebell exercises look somewhat different from those of the great masters. The technique is influenced by the weight of the projectile and, of course, the training experience. Thousands of lifts of a 32 kg kettlebell form a specific, very economical technique and a special body type. The main purpose of this technique is to save energy and reduce energy costs for lifts.
The purpose of this publication is to teach you how to use kettlebells in a wider range - body development, the formation of an aesthetic figure and the acceleration of metabolism. Therefore, I do not urge you to use Olympic weights at once and do not seek to drive you into the framework of purely sporting achievements. This is fitness with kettlebells, not kettlebell lifting! We have different goals: health, general training of the whole body, aesthetics and muscle definition. Therefore, the recommended exercise technique may differ from purely classical advice designed to record timed kettlebell lifting.
Basic stance for exercises with a kettlebell
In many exercises with kettlebells, the starting position is the so-called basic stance. This is the position from which it is convenient to start many exercises in your workout.
All in all, the stance boils down to a few simple guidelines.
1. Legs slightly wider than shoulders. The socks are slightly turned to the sides. As your training experience grows, you will feel how exactly you need to change the basic stance for yourself.
2. The back is straight.
3. The kettlebell in the lowered hand is held in the groin area.
4. The free hand is ready to work actively, maintaining balance while lifting the kettlebell.
Our job is to train muscles, not save energy.
And do not forget that, as before any workout, it is necessary before the kettlebell session.
The first exercise is a snatch.
Classic kettlebell snatch
This exercise is from the arsenal of classic kettlebell lifting.
Take a kettlebell in your hand and stand up straight. Legs are wider than shoulders. The socks are slightly apart. We stand steady.
Swinging the kettlebell back between the legs (guys, be careful!) With a slight forward bend, you need to pull it up on your outstretched arm and fix it for a second. At the moment of fixation, the arm with the kettlebell, the body and legs should be straightened.
An important point is the absence of the need to squeeze the weight. That is, it should "fly out" high enough to simply fix it in the top position.
In order to perform a jerk technically correctly, it is necessary to take a close look at the mechanics of the movement. For more details on the technique of jerking a kettlebell, see a separate post.
Shoulder kettlebell squats
This exercise is mainly aimed at training the leg muscles. But given the shift in the center of gravity and the not very comfortable position of the kettlebell, we can say that such squats develop the whole body.
You need to throw a kettlebell to your shoulder, spread your legs shoulder-width apart, and perform the required number of squats.
In this case, the free hand should help balance. Pull it forward as you squat.
Take a deep breath as you bend your legs. When extending the legs, exhale.
Perform each set of these kettlebell squats by changing the position of the kettlebell. If you held the kettlebell with your left hand in the first approach, then in the second hold it with your right hand.
Kettlebell push
Classic kettlebell exercise. The kettlebell push develops the entire body, especially the muscles of the shoulders, arms, back. Perfectly trains movement coordination.
Cast the kettlebell to your shoulder. To do this, tilt your torso slightly, bend your knees slightly and swing the kettlebell between your legs. Next, carefully throw the kettlebell to your shoulder. The free hand is set aside for balance.
Pay attention to the correct holding of the kettlebell at the shoulder. The elbow is pressed against the upper abdomen. The shoulder of the hand is close to the body.
Take a breath before pushing, bend your knees. Then bend them sharply and push the weight straight up. The kettlebell does not rise over the side, but simply up, along the shortest path. At the same time, the efforts of the hand are minimal. The hand only fixes the weight. And the projectile flies up due to the impulse from the legs.
At the top, fix the weight for half a second. The hand is close to the head. The body and legs are straight. Then gently return the kettlebell to your chest, slightly springing your legs at the bottom of the movement. This will allow you to take the kettlebell smoothly, without hitting.
Repeat the push again. Etc.
The exercise is first performed in full with one hand. And then immediately another. This counts as one approach.
Breathing - inhale before pushing. When pushing and fixing, exhale. You can lower it at the change of short inhalation and exhalation.
Throwing kettlebells to the shoulder
Exercise is an element of classic kettlebell lifting. Belongs to the group (they develop the instep supports of the shoulder, which are important for the health of the shoulder joints).
The starting position is the basic stance. Legs are wider than shoulders. The socks are slightly apart. The kettlebell in the lowered hand is held at the groin. The free arm is lowered along the body and makes short movements to help maintain balance.
Bend your torso slightly, bend your knees slightly. Take your free hand back. Swing the kettlebell slightly forward and then backward between your legs. Vigorously, along a circular path, throw it to the shoulder and fix it.
Try to ensure that the kettlebell rests on the forearm neatly, without impact.
Fixation is a position when the hand with the kettlebell is pressed tightly to the chest. The kettlebell is under the chin, close to the middle of the body. The elbow is pressed against the upper abdomen, closer to the center of the body.
Fixation duration - no more than 1 second.
Next, relax your hand (except for the hand and fingers) and let the weight fall freely downward. At the bottom of the trajectory, strain your arm, slightly tilt your body and sit down, thus compensating for the inertia of the kettlebell. The kettlebell should not "fall" below knee level.
Do a new swing and another cast. Continue in this way until the required number of repetitions is reached.
Then move the kettlebell to your other hand and do the same number of casts.
Breathing - when the kettlebell moves upwards - exhalation, when lowering the kettlebell and swinging - inhale. When fixing, you can take a short breath in and out.
Swing - swing exercise with a kettlebell
The kettlebell swing is an excellent coordination exercise. Perfectly develops the back, muscles of the buttocks, hips. It stimulates breathing well. Therefore, swing is often recommended as part of cardio workouts.
The starting position is the basic stance. Legs wide. The socks are slightly apart. A kettlebell in a lowered hand at the groin.
Swing is performed with a fairly strong forward inclination of the body when swinging the kettlebell. This recommendation contradicts the basic principles of classic kettlebell lifting, in which a strong incline is generally considered unacceptable. But we have different goals - stimulation of the gluteal muscles and muscles of the thighs.
Move the kettlebell forward, and then, when it begins to move backward, bend over and bend your knees, bring the kettlebell far back between your legs. After that, quickly straighten up, straighten your legs and bring the weight out in a large arc to eye level.
Perform the required number of swings with one hand, and then without resting with the other. This counts as one approach.
The main working muscle group in swing is the buttocks. Pay attention to work with your free hand. She is actively involved in swinging, tilting and balancing the body.
Breathing - when moving the kettlebell down and swinging, inhale, when lifting, exhale.
A set of exercises with a kettlebell
Perform these kettlebell exercises alternately with rest pauses of 1-2 minutes or more if necessary to restore breathing.
Classes are held every other day, three times a week. Gradually try to increase the number of repetitions in each set. For example, one repetition of each workout.
Here is an example set of exercises.
* Beginners - people with minimal training experience with iron.
** experienced - people with experience with iron from 2-3 months.
*** number of repetitions for each hand.
I wish you successful kettlebell training!
5 × 5 is a classic training program that has been around for many years and is a very effective way to develop strength and muscle mass. This system was a favorite of Reg Park, Arnold Schwarzenegger's idol. The program works as follows.
Pick a training weight and do five sets of five reps. If you successfully complete all five sets of five reps, increase the weight by 2-4 kg and do five more sets of five reps. Take three minute breaks between sets.
Obviously, a progressive increase in the load in kettlebell lifting is impossible, so other factors need to be considered. One of them is time under stress. When you are able to complete five sets of five reps at a fast pace, increase to four seconds, and positive to two seconds. When this seems easy to do, try spending five seconds lifting the weight, pausing at the top of the movement, and spending five seconds lowering the weight.
Another important factor is rest pauses between sets. Instead of three-minute breaks, take two-minute breaks, then they can be reduced to 90, and then to 60 seconds. Successfully completing five sets of five reps with 1 minute breaks and at a slower pace will surely be ready to handle heavier kettlebells.
The third factor is the type of exercise. When you can do five sets of five reps in military mode while standing, switch to the seated bench press. When you can easily do five sets of five repetitions of swings with two kettlebells from the bottom up to chest level, switch to a snatch with both hands. There is always a way to make the exercise more difficult and to make the training program more effective.
Sample programs of kettlebell training 5 × 5
Two exemplary 5 × 5 kettlebell lifting programs:
First option
Monday
- B-2: (with two hands)
Exercises are performed in the same way as A-1 and A-2
- In conclusion - - 2 × 5 (left and right hand alternately)
Take two minute breaks between sets. For each set, do five reps for each side.
Wednesday
- B-2: (with two hands)
The exercises are performed in the same way as described above.
Friday
- A-1: (sitting)
Complete A-1 and A-2 in turn. In other words, do one set A-1, rest for a minute, then do set A-2, rest for a minute, then set a second A-1, etc. Continue doing A-1 and A-2 in turn until you have completed all five sets.
- B-2: (with two hands)
- In conclusion - - 2 × 5 (left and right hand alternately)
Take two minute breaks between sets. For each set, do five reps for each side.
Second option
1st day
- In conclusion - "Turkish rise" - 5 × 5 (with kettlebells in the left and right hand alternately)
2nd day
- A-2: (with two hands)
- In conclusion - "Turkish rise" - 2 × 5 (with kettlebells in the left and right hand alternately)
Give yourself a day off between workouts. In other words, do the 1st day workout on Monday, the 2nd day on Wednesday, then repeat the workout of the 1st day on Friday.
Key points
The first option includes three full body workouts per week. This is a great program for those who recover quickly, lead a stress-free lifestyle and eat plenty of food.
The second option is for people who need more recovery time between workouts. In this case, you have more days until the next similar workout and more time to recover.
Workouts are divided into working out the upper body one day and the lower body the next day, which allows you to focus on specific muscle groups. Both programs are very effective. In order to choose one or the other program, try both and follow the progress. Then follow the one that suits you best.

If you are new to kettlebell training or have little experience, then this article is for you. Below are 5 beginner exercises that you should learn first.
Learning these basic kettlebell exercises will provide preparation for more complex kettlebell movements.
1. Rotation of the kettlebell around the hips
The first exercise on the list is kettlebell rotation. It is a simple movement that involves transferring a kettlebell around the body from one hand to the other. Rotating the kettlebell is a great exercise for beginners because it helps you feel the kettlebell, as well as work with your shoulder girdle, abs, and grip. Use this exercise as a warm-up before the main part of your workout.
2. Rotation of the kettlebell around the head
This movement is similar in principle to the previous one, with the only difference that it is necessary to rotate around the head. This exercise perfectly kneads the shoulder girdle and upper body. Again, like the previous exercise, overhead rotation is a good warm-up.3. Incline with kettlebell
Professional CrossFit training
If you are looking for professionally designed crossfit workout programs, then we have created a whole section of the site dedicated to crossfit workouts and not only them. The following training programs are available:
- Crossfit training program for muscle growth and endurance
The exercise is similar to the barbell bend. It will be useful for beginners to perform it, as it teaches basic body movement when working with weights.
4. Deadlift of a kettlebell with one hand
For beginners, I think this is the most important exercise that you must learn to do correctly. The kettlebell is lifted from the floor with one hand, the back is kept straight.A very important exercise for further learning about kettlebell swing.
5. Goblet squats
We turn to the basic exercise with a kettlebell - squatting. This is a very important movement, especially for beginners, and uses a lot of muscles. Try this exercise without a kettlebell first.
