25 Best Kettlebell Workout Routines After Teaching Over 1000 Kettlebell Classes

I thought it would be helpful to share with you my 25 best kettlebell workout routines.

When I teach kettlebell classes I do not use just random kettlebell circuits, each workout is part of a kettlebell workout plan usually lasting 12 weeks.

The kettlebell workout routines listed below are fun supplements to the kettlebell workout programs that I plan out in advance and are great for kettlebell workouts at home.

So please do not take the below kettle bell workouts as a complete program just a guide to the different types of workout formats available.

You can also use these full-body workouts as a kettlebell WOD (workout of the day) but you will need to be careful not to overdo things as many of them are rather intense and may require at least a days rest.

You may also find it useful to see my 52 kettlebell exercises listed here.

Enjoy the workouts…

1 The Perfect Pair

Double Handed Swing – 20 reps
Push Ups – 10, 9, 8, 7 etc.
Repeat – 10 times

A super simple home kettlebell workout and great kettlebell WOD that hits the entire body and almost every muscle in the body using only 2 exercises.

Perform 20 Double Handed Swings and then 10 Push Ups. Next repeat the 20 Swings and 9 Push Ups. Continue alternating between the Swings and Push Ups reducing the Push Ups by 1 rep each time.

At the end of the routine you will have completed 200 Swings and 55 Push Ups.

Ensure that you limit the swings to shoulder height rather than going overhead and performing the American swing. Your hip flexors will be well worked after this full-body workout so be sure to stretch them out if you perform this workout regularly.

Completing the workout in under 10 minutes is excellent!

Snatch – 20 reps
Reverse Lunge – 20 reps
Push Up – 20 reps

A kettlebell routine that uses 5 of the best exercises.

Perform each exercise for 20 reps each, Snatches and Lunges are 20 reps on each side. Next repeat the kettlebell circuit workout for 15 reps, then 10 reps and finally 5 reps.

3Climb to Fitness with Kettle Bells

Burpees – 30 secs / rest 30 secs
Slow Mountain Climbers – 30 secs
Alternating Swings – 30 secs
Push Ups – 30 secs
Double Handed Squats – 30 secs
Sit & Press – 30 secs

Fast Mountain Climbers – 30 secs
Repeat – add another exercise each round

A full-body workout movement ladder that adds a new exercise after each rest period. Start with 30 seconds of Burpees, then rest for 30 seconds.

Next perform 30 seconds of Burpees and then 30 seconds of Slow Mountain Climbers, and rest for 30 seconds. Continue adding one exercise each circuit until you end up completing all 8 exercises without resting.

If you are feeling brave you can then come back down the ladder by removing an exercise every round. Climbing both up and back down the ladder is very challenging!

4The Kettle bell Workout Test

Snatch – 3 mins
Push Ups – 3 mins
Double Handed Squats – 3 mins
Slow Mountain Climbers – 3 mins
Double Lunge – 3 mins
Rest 60 seconds after each exercise

Use this test to monitor your progress. You can test yourself every month and see how your strength and fitness levels are improving.

To maintain proper form I recommend you start with lighter kettlebells before moving on to heavier weights once you feel comfortable with the kettlebell movements.

Perform each exercise for 3 minutes, record your total number of reps while resting for 1 minute between exercises. For the Snatches and Lunges switch sides every 10 reps.

55 Step Kettle bell Workout Ladder

One Handed Swing – 5 reps each
High Pulls – 5 reps each
Snatch – 5 reps each
Windmill – 5 reps each
Repeat – adding 1 more exercise below each round

Clean & Press – 5 reps each
Double Lunge – 5 reps each
Squat & Press – 5 reps each

A fun kettlebell routine that adds a new exercise every round. Start with the first 4 exercises for 5 reps on each side, left hand and right hand.

Next rest for 1 minute and repeat the exercises adding the next exercise on the list after the Snatch.

Make sure that you always finish with the Windmill.

Continue adding a new exercise each round until you finish all 7 exercises, finishing with the Windmill.

If you find the windmill difficult due to tightness in your hamstrings then have a slight bend in the front leg to maintain proper form.

Notice how the high pulls and the snatch work into the upper back and all three of the first exercises strengthen the posterior chain.

6Kettle bell Workout Super Sized

Clean & Press – 10 reps each
Double Lunge – 10 reps each
Single Leg Deadlift – 10 reps each
Squat Racked – 10 reps each
Windmill – 10 reps each

Burpees – 20 reps
Fast Mountain Climbers – 20 reps
Jump Squats – 20 reps
Double Handed Swings – 20 reps
High Pulls – 20 reps each

A double kettlebell routine that will work both your strength training first and then your cardio, rapidly raising your heart rate.

Notice how this workout heavily works on the lower body by challenging the core muscles by using the windmill exercise. The windmill will also improve your range of motion, especially around your hips, shoulder joints and shoulder blades.

Perform the first block for 10 reps on each side, both right hand and left hand. Use the rack position for the squats and double lunges.

Next perform the second block for 20 reps on each side. Work up to 3 complete kettlebell circuits.

Continue performing each exercise and adding 10 Push Ups into the rest periods.

One Handed Swing – 50 reps each

Clean & Press – 25 reps each
Reverse Lunge – 25 reps each
Squat & Press – 25 reps each

My classic kettle bell workout challenge.

Perform each exercise for the prescribed number of reps for a total of 300 reps.

You will find it easier to perform each exercise in blocks of 5 or 10 before changing sides.

Many people struggle with their grip strength when performing higher rep counts so simply change hands when your forearms start to fatigue

You can also use the push press rather than the strict press as a great way to fully fatigue the shoulder muscles when the clean and press becomes too challenging.

Your target is under 15 minutes for the full 300 reps.

The Perfect Pair is my absolute favorite. Especially with the descending ladder. This keeps the execution clean because the intensity decreases and with the swings it still gets crisp.

Hi Greg, I am Basilio, I started using Kettlebell about 2 years ago, and I feel pretty good, I like work out with them. I am new on your website, and I would like ask you a questioni about the one arm kettlebell swing: you said that the single arm kettlebell swing works the middle trapezius and the rhomboids, among other muscles, therefore an electromyography on the back chain shows you that?
I am sorry for my English and I really appreciate if you answer me.

Hi Greg,
i am 52 kg, 5f.4” – 39 yrs old female. I am quite athletic and watch your videos and follow some of your workouts already – i found you and your app thru Dr. Mercola while ago. I appreciate if you tell me how to build body- i do not want to lose wait, just want to build some muscle, broader shoulder, defined arms and strong legs. I could swing etc 16-20kg, deadlift my body weight but i still look too skinny. I eat quite healthy too. Any advice, many thanks in advance!

  Hello, to build a little more muscle I recommend that you focus more on “Grind” based exercises e.g. Clean and Press, Rows, Push Ups, Pull Ups, Lunges, Pistol Squats. Use a weight that challenges you with 8-15 reps and perform 3 sets. Keep me updated on results.

        Hi Greg,
        i have have been following the workout routine. I did three days/3 sets last week and felt quite tired. This week i plan to do 4 days/3 sets per day. I also realized that i get really hungry so i start eating more and thought about ordering pure protein powder after workout. Do you recommend power shake (dr.mercola pure protein powder)? another big question should I have a small break after each exercise or each set? and how long? Thanks a million for help & advises!
        (I push myself more and get out of my comfort zone. It is hard and feel tired- I am using 16kg kb for Clean and Press (each arm) and Rows (each arm), Push Ups 30-40, Pull Ups( i can’t do it at home- tried hanging on a door, but didn’t work out well 🙂 so instead i do 45 kg deadlifts and 16 kg kettle bell pullover , Lunges 15 each leg w 16kg kb, Pistol Squats without kb. ) is that good?

Which of the routines above would you suggest for an all over body workout (especially inner thighs and buttocks). Lost a lot of weight and need to tone up and get fit

  Hi Tracy, they all have their benefits but for pure simplicity I would start with No. 1 “Perfect Pair”, the swing will hit your buttocks and inner thighs and the push ups your chest, core and backs of arms. After you have mastered this workout move on to No. 2 and so on. Best of luck!

I did an imperfect perfect pair yesterday. I added 100 jump rope to each set, and did 15 sets. I also did single arm swings, ten each side with a 24kg bell. Two Hand swings are too easy. The pushups started at 15. Took me about 25 minutes. I appreciate the idea for a perfect workout.

Have been following along with you for a bit now. I saw this grouping today and am excited to to try some of these groupings. I go hard for awhile but then get bored with the “same old routine”. These are definitely something to mix and match with and to keep my interest piqued. Tkx so much for your continued inspirations.

hey Greg, thank you for such good & comprehensive info. I love kettlebells and have been doing some regular workouts for several months. My current goal is 10,000 swings which I am now doing single handed. I do a push up routine of five sets, presently 100 reps total, progressing, and in the 90sec ‘rest’ between pushup sets I do 25-30 sh swings. Presently at 8,000 swings. I also do some reps where I swing the kb laterally in front of my body changing hands. I am 68, working to improve my deep core stabilisers and wanting to build some guns. Cheers from Ted.

Hi Greg,

I really enjoy these workouts, thanks for taking the time to post them. I used to receive your posts regularly, but this was the first one in a long time. I hope I did not miss any.

I have many clients over 65 and a yoga client at 91 1/2. I know that kettle bells work if done properly, but many of my clients do not want to do them. Suggestions?

Thanks,

Tammy

  You should always start with Bodyweight exercises first and then when your client shows good movement strength and skill you can progress to the kettlebell beginners exercises
  
  All workout programing is a process of progression
  
  Best of luck with it,
  Greg

Hi,

I’m the usual story, office-bound sitting most of the day behind a screen. Need to Shed Kg’s but also want to build at the same time, what would be a good weekly regime to follow?
Thanks!

  Hi Richard, I’d take control of your diet first to help shed the pounds. I’d then take a look at my beginners series or beginners workouts to build a solid foundation. Best of luck!

Greg,
Great workouts! I’ve made it through pretty much all of them at this point. It seems the website was recently updated. On the older version, there were a number of extra workouts by category at the bottom of the page (tabata workouts, 7 min cardio circuits, ladder workouts etc.) I was wondering if those workouts/categories were still up on the site somewhere.

Thanks again for all the great workouts and tutorials, they’ve gotten me into great shape!

Adam

Love what you’ve done! I’m 44 & been at gyms since aged 16. Always been fit and slim and relatively strong. In the last 6 months I’ve set up a small home gym with kettlebells and your site is exactly what I need to stay on track and learn. Here’s my question. With having a gym mindset, thinking that I can do a 4 minute workout and be strong and fit makes me very nervous! I’m keen to understand things like frequency, duration, and strength / cardio in that mix too on a weekly basis. Thanks!

  As with all exercise Rachel it comes down to your goals. Once you can clearly define what you want to achieve then you can build a program around that. For many people just building a regular exercise habit is the first step and in 4 minutes you can get a lot done without putting you off exercise all together 🙂

  Greg,
  Your workouts are wonderful.. I’ve been workingout with kettlebells for 7 years and throughly love it. I’ve learned several new moves watching your videos, including the Bob and Weave, which I have incorporated in my workouts. Thank you. I have personally tried everyone of your workouts and have enjoyed tham all. I am a personal trainer, and my clients are now using some of your workouts. Your routines work well for me! Thank you!
  Irene
