{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!

- ascended new trails and explored alpine lakes of the Pacific Northwest 
- adapted: to Zoom holidays, takeout, and masked faces becoming the (temporary) norm

This challenging year was all about appreciating the little things while living through some really BIG things. 2020 had more than a few lessons to teach us all. Through a pandemic, pivotal change in presidency, and loud cry for human rights, I see very clearly how privileged I am. It was the year to let go of plans and lean in to a new perspective. 

After all, hindsight is ②⓪②⓪.

Best thing about 2020... for me, it’s been relationships - virtual and IRL.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
One of the goals that I set for 2020 was to make one new local friend in Seattle (seriously something I wrote down as I began the new year moving across the country). While I’m happy to say that I did so (during a pandemic), I feel fortunate for the virtual friendships that developed, too.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I’ve gotta take a second to give a shoutout to my newest soul sista @weeksofwonder. You helped me get after it during my second year of entrepreneurship with a hefty dose of #2020 mayhem. 🙏🏼⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Wendy and I met here on IG, and what started as a business relationship and accountability partner has turned into a special bond that transcends any walkie-talkie or social media app. This creative spirit has not only inspired me to get after it and dream bigger as an entrepreneur, but in the same way has encouraged me to honor rest and play: whether it’s giving each other kudos on Strava for tackling a run, building badass business plans and packages, or simply holding space to share the wins and the many woes, personally and professionally, of a memorable year. Having Wendy in my corner has led to some serious momentum and a sense of consistent community.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
2020 has been a shit show, but it delivered GRL PWR 👊🏻⁣⁣
⁣⁣
We want to hear from YOU: Who has been your supportive soul sister through the ups and downs of 2020? ⁣⁣
