It’s been a while since I shared a workout on the blog, I spend a lot of time programming and coming up with exercises and session planning for Bootcamp that I don’t think to post workouts on this blog or it’s Facebook or Instagram pages!
I really enjoy using kettlebells, they are really versatile and just having one lighter and one heavier kettlebell can give you so many extra options when it comes to working out from home. They are also substantially cheaper than dumbbells from my experience. If you are going to purchase some I’d recommenced getting the ones that aren’t plastic as they will last much longer. The ones we have for Bootcamp have been going strong for over 5 years now and they get used most days.
Anyway let’s get into this At home Kettlebell workout! (There is even a quick video to demo the exercises below – and you’ll get a sneak peak at the baby bump).
Your Exercises:
20 Kettlebell Swings
20 Shoulder Press (1 KB unless you have two the same size)
20 Kettlebell Squats
20 Upright Rows
20 Deadlifts
Choose one of the below formats to complete your workout in:
* Number of rounds (3-5 would make a good workout)
* AMRAP style which means you go for a set amount of time ie. 10-20 minutes repeated continuously.
* Drop one off each round, ie. do all 5 exercises then the next round choose one exercise to drop off.
Note:
If you only have one weight you may need to adjust the reps accordingly. if you find your weight is too heavy for say shoulder press do less reps (5-10 reps?), if it’s too light for say deadlifts do more reps (30-40 reps?)
