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.
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
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.

Thanks for posting this! I always want to do kettleball workouts, but then I set out to do them and I’m like wait… I don’t know any of the moves haha.
There are SO many moves you can do. I am a huge fan of kettlebells!
I’ve never done a kettleball workout before… I’ve never known what to do with them… thanks for this post.
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!
Awesome! I am super sore from this workout… KBs are no joke!
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!
Start light & watch some YouTube videos :)
