Kettlebell Goblet Squats
Regardless of whether or not you want to do a kettlebell workout or just have leg day, kettlebell goblet squats are a great alternative to a front squat while being slightly easier on the forearms and wrists.
Like any squat, make sure you keep a strong core, a proud chest, and your arms tucked in for maximum stability.
Muscles worked: Legs, biceps, lower back.
Halos
One of the few workouts here that can only really be exclusively done with a kettlebell, halos are a great way of building shoulder, core and upper back stability when done with a moderate weight.
The key is to focus on smooth rotation around the head, and you can turn up the intensity by alternating directions with every rep.
Muscles worked: shoulders, traps, core.
Kettlebell Pushups
We don’t need to tell you how to do a pushup, but the added elevation provided by a ketlebell is a great way to add in a chest component to your workout without putting too much strain on your already stressed shoulders and arms.
You can also alternate sets with close-grip pushups to get a better tricep workout or switch from one raised arm to another for plyo pushups.
Muscles worked: Chest, tris, shoulders.
Squat-to-Press
The key to both a good squat and a good shoulder press is posture – preventing your back from collapsing in on itself under the weight of the press
Muscles worked: Quads, glutes, hammies, shoulders
Kettlebell Swings
The archetypal kettlebell exercise, the humble kettlebell swing uses just about every muscle group in your body.
A few sets of these will set you up well for just about any workout, and when combined with a little additional cardio, make for a serious way to burn some calories.
