5 Day Beginner’s Kettlebell Challenge

Kettlebells are geared toward full-body exercise. Kettlebell workouts tend to utilize compound movements, which incorporate multiple muscle groups at once. This gives you twice the workout in half the time!
We’ve created a 5-day challenge to introduce you to the impact of kettlebells. This challenge will show you some dynamic moves you may have never thought to perform with weights. New workouts always bring new results. Push through this challenge, and you’ll love kettlebells, along with your new body.
Equipment Needed: Interval Timer (Gymboss is a free app download), one kettlebell (start with a light weight)
What To Do: Read the workouts below and watch the videos to get familiarized with the movements. This 5-day routine starts off with a basic introduction to movements and transitions into workouts to get your body more comfortable while you adjust to the kettlebell.
