I started using Kettlebells when I began practicing Crossfit in 2013 and got hooked! After one year and a half of traveling in Asia without gym access, I arrived in California, USA, to spend the summer here. Luckily for me, I’m staying in a house full of kettlebells. This means I can practice full-body kettlebell workout circuits any time I want! Yessss!! I love that you can do many movements with them, from strength exercises to aerobics, even as therapeutic.
If you are a person who is not assisting to the gym, you can buy a kettlebell and work your whole body! In this blog post, I will share a whole-body workout using only one kettlebell in this article. Are you ready to move? Let’s goooooo
Full-body kettlebell workout
This full-body kettlebell workout is a complete routine of exercises designed to work the entire body using one single kettlebell.
One important thing! This routine is NOT for beginners. As a beginner, you must ensure that you have moved adequately before adding the extra weight (like a kettlebell). What I’m sharing today is made only for people with the know-how to safely and sufficiently train with kettlebells
The routine
The workout circuit is designed to do a quick yet effective strength workout using only one kettlebell. You can do it 1-3 times weekly to complement your physical activity.

This part of the workout activates the muscles and starts losing tightness. Do every exercise very consciously and with intention.
Starting with 3-5 minutes of aerobic exercise. You can do some activities: running, burpees, jumping jacks, high knees, butt kicks, or jumping rope.
Once warm-up, please continue with the following movements. With a brume stick complete:
