Hello. I like your website and I will try some of your workout next time! The video is very clear and easy to understand.

I would like to tell a little about myself.I have been practicing KB for 5 months now. I like to do KB because I can do whenever I want ,and I can practice on barefoot. I am a huge fan of calisthenics workout and I thought KB will help to get my body stronger. I’m 42,@103 lbs (5’1”) but I just executed TGU with 35 lbs for 4 reps each. KB wears me out quite a bit but even so I run better next day even I am pretty sore. My goal is that I would like to keep my healthy body and stay active until I die lol

thanks for the well executed tutorials, I am just finding my way back to the joy of KB workouts after a few years of not being able to and needed some reminders, very helpful. KB’s are the most effective way to train without a doubt, when I started a few years ago I saw results very quickly and they were not just physical, improved my mood and mental wellbeing overall as well.

In reply to louisa parker. It's important to keep the heels close to the floor Louisa to increase activation of the posterior chain (back of the body). It is also very unnatural to wear heeled shoes as it forces muscle shortening and subsequent adjustments up and through the rest of the body.

Hi! So I use to be in shape when I was in the army and I’ve been out for over six months and put on some weight. But I want to know what each of the workouts listed, workout 1, workout 2, and workout 3, how many calories do they each burn?

In reply to Loretta. Hello Loretta, you can use your 16kg with 2 hands and practice the Squat and Overhead Press to build up strength. In the meantime, you can also practice the Turkish Get Up without a kettlebell or use a dumbbell instead.

hi Greg! I used to work out 4x a week at a muay thai gym and we always warmed up with 100 Russian swings. I managed to work my way up from 8kg to my peak of 20kg for all 100 swings. I’ve since moved and now only have access to either 16kg or 24kg, and 24 was too heavy even at my best, so 16 it is. I do 100 swings a day (most days) but I’d like to add to the workout. I love turkish getups but the 16 is a bit too heavy for that (a bit afraid to try to be honest). What would you recommend? Not sure if I can do any of the one-arm lift above head ones at the moment!

thanks so much for these great workouts!

In reply to Carmen Anderson. Thanks Carmen, you can always practice squat and overhead presses with both hands on the kettlebell to make it easier. You should also be working on closed chain exercises like push ups, planks and shoulder taps.

Love the videos. I’m always unsure if I’m using correct form.

I have one kettlebell weight (8 kg) and it’s great for lower body exercises or exercises where I use my whole body. However, I’m not strong enough to use that kettlebell for most single arm workouts like rows or thrusters.

Do you have any recommendations for kettlebell exercises that I can manage with my 8 kg kettlebell to build up my arm strength?
