{Full Body} Kettlebell & Dumbbell Workout

June 26, 2013 by Hillary 8 Comments

Hi All – Happy Workout Wednesday!

I mentioned in my birthday eats (and treats!) post that I got a kettlebell for my birthday. Technically, it was a gift to myself, but hey, a girl can spoil herself every now and again. Now that I am without a gym membership, I’m getting more and more pumped (pun!) about building my “home gym.” I don’t have room for big, bulky equipment, but I’ve learned you don’t need much at all for an efficient workout.

Yesterday, I did a full-body kettlebell and dumbbell workout in the comfort of my modest living room after a slow 2-mile warm-up run.

KB

What You’ll Need

  • 1 kettlebell, 15-30lb.
  • 1 set of dumbbells, 8-12lb.
  • 1 yoga mat
  • music of your choice

Note: Before starting, do 5-10 minutes of light cardio to warm-up. The workout should take ~25-30 minutes to complete if you move quickly from one set to the next.

Exercises

  • Swing
  • Sumo Squat
  • Deadlift to High Pull
  • Windmill
  • Figure 8
  • Single Leg Deadlift
  • Bridge Chest Press

If you have any questions about any of the exercise moves, please ask and I’ll do my best to answer. I suppose I’ll have to create my own Speed Skater with High Pull tutorial, as I couldn’t find an adequate example.

Check out my Workouts page for more full body strength routines and treadmill fun – enjoy!

    I was so happy to see this! Last weekend, I too, gifted myself with a kettlebell. I did a short workout with it on Sunday and was surprised how sore I was on Monday! Definitely a good investment. :-) I can’t wait to try this workout!

    Happy belated birthday! 24? You are just a baby!! I’ll be 29 in a few months… feels like I just turned 21 yesterday.
    I need to invest in a kettlebell, too. This workout looks like a great one!

    I’ve never used a kettlebell before. I’m a little intimidated honestly, I’d probably smack myself in the face with one!
