One of the great things about kettlebell training is that even when you’re focusing on a single area of your body, you’re still training the rest of it! Case in point is the Arm Destroyer Kettlebell Workout. During this intense 20 minute workout, you’ll blast all aspects of your arm strength, from your grip to your forearms, to your biceps, triceps, and shoudlers, all while also training your core and lower body with explosive exercises and isometric holds.

You probably remember playing “the ground is lava” when you were a kid. Let’s bring some of that goofy fun back with this quick workout! During the main set, your goal is to never put the kettlebell down and to keep moving throughout. You can perform the kettlebell exercises in any order you want, just don’t set the weight down at any point. I suggest trying it with a lighter kettlebell the firs time through.

Kettlebell Core Workout

Written by markdegrasse on . Posted in Fitness Articles.

You can blast your core in any number of ways using a kettlebell. One of those is with sit up variations that exploit the round “ball” of the kettlebell, allowing you to comfortably grip the weight while performing a variety of movements. This core workout also utilizes a couple of my favorite bodyweight core strength movements, the Coffin Sit Up (an interesting core exercise variation that eliminates the availability of your hip flexors to assist in the movement) and the Leg Raise to Bump, a double-blast on the rectus abdominus.
