Kettlebell Exercises

A kettlebell is a ball of weight with a handle, and the offset load is the point: swings, cleans, snatches and Turkish get-ups train the hips and grip in a way dumbbells do not quite replicate. For most beginners the useful shortlist is goblet squats, swings, rows and carries. The rest of this list is there when those are familiar. Every kettlebell exercise in the library is below, with muscles worked, difficulty and step-by-step instructions. Start lighter than your dumbbell weight for the same movement; the swing in particular is a technique lift, not a strength test.
