Got a KB for christmas but this is my first workout with it. Had a good read around the website and struggled to get off to actually do the workout; so much inspiration! Numbers not too shabby but def room for improvement

This was my first ever kettlebell workout! We just got a set, and I’m so excited to start using more of your kb workouts. I think I’m really going to enjoy them, especially the swings. Thank you so much!

wooopss I did the lunges a bit different.
Well its only my second kettlebell workout … room for improvement. I used a 12 kg.
I had do adjust the dive bombers (killers!!!). I can do a regular one going down (although I notice my right arm being stonger tries to take over 🙂 ), but on the way back I have to do them on my knees.
I was surprised how relatively easy the vertical swings were.

I added some ab work, doing side bends with the kettlebell in 1 hand.
Thanks for the workout! Next time I will prepare the excercises better 😀

In reply to Anna. Hey Anna. Thanks for your questions. The great thing about Kettlebell Workouts, and even Interval Training like this, is that it is a great way to get more bang for your buck - build strength and burn fat! So you don't need to do additional weight training, if you don't have the time etc. You will, however, need to try and keep progressing the Kettlebell weight you use, so to allow yourself to always improve. HERE is an article I wrote on how to choose your first Kettlebell, which will help answer your other questions. Hope this helps :)

Hi
I’ve just discovered the idea of kettlebell workout.
After few weeks running [walk/run] I realised I need something more to loose weight and I am just about to buy fitness ball and some dumbbells but now I’ve started to think that perhaps this complete kettlebell workout can be great alternative.
So the question is:
Can I do this kind of workout INSTEAD of doing weights to loose my weight? I completly don’t know where to start and your workout looks like a good solution
I wasn’t doing any excercises before.
I am 31 years old [161cm, 63kg]
I am busy mum of 3,5years little girl 🙂 so I don’t have time to spend hours on the gym really so workouts at my garden or at home with kettlebell sounds perfect!!!
If this is good idea for me, what weight of kettlebell shall I start with? I know it depands from my body but I really don’t have any idea 🙁
Would be great if ou can help me
please 🙂
