Kettlebell workouts?

[fit44]

How do you work them into a weekly rotation with traditional weight lifting?

I took the plunge today and purchased some kettlebells and this new workout

I was wondering if anyone could give me more kbell workouts to look at, and tell me how to work them into a workout rotation.

I just got this one too and it looks fantastic! I previewed it yesterday and want to do it soon. I've just had an awful headache the last few days

Have you seen the art of strength workouts? They are also well loved: http://www.artofstrength.com/dvdworkout/tabid/182/Default.aspx

The one on the bottom(kettlebell your way..) is a new version of providence just with the woman in it and it has a tutorial section.

Hi Cynthia,

The workout dvds by Art of Strength are fantastic!! I have Providence and Newport and I have Firepower on my birthday list.

I don't really have a set rotation right now because I doing lots of workouts outside. Most of these workouts include kettlebells. Right now I'm getting 1 day of traditional weight workout and do kettlebells about 3 or 4 days a week.

Hope you enjoy kettlebells. I love them!

Jess,

I can sympathize with you about the headaches. I've had one everyday this week. I just had to take an imitrex.

Thanks for the link and the suggestion. I viewed a clip of the "kettlebell your way" and I think it would be a great place for me to begin. I ordered it I would like the 2 disc set for beginners, but will have to wait for that one.

Let me know how you like the Over the Edge workout. Lauren is so adorable! I can see how kbells help build strong abs. I can't wait to begin!!!

I went for the bling on the kbells. I bought the vinyl colored ones from perform better.


Jane, do you do kbells every other day or can you do them back to back?
Anthony from Art of Strength is a cutie! I have a thing for guys with shaved heads. I won't have any problems following his workouts!

I usually workout with kettlebells every other day but there are times when I do swings almost every day. I love swings because they work your whole body so I'll usually tack on swings after my other workouts.

Thanks Jane. I will add on swings after my cardio. It should help with my form. I'm pretty excited about this I like change. I hope I'm good at it!

Hi Cynthia,

I just ordered that dvd so I'm hoping I like it too. I have all the AoS w/o's and a few more KB dvds that I enjoy. They are addicting. Watch out.

I think swings are an excellent way to add on to any w/o. I also think that you could go light on your wt and make the w/o more cardio based than strength when you are also doing traditional lifting. I always mix them up. I might do a total body traditional w/o on Monday, step w/o on Tuesday and a KB w/o on Wednesday. I

variety.

There are all kinds of ways you can work them in and I'm sure you'll discover that soon enough.
