Kettlebell Workout – Double the Fun

Tags: , ,

Here’s the kettlebell workout that Elise showed me last week. 

 

Using two kettlebells, perform the following exercises once each, rapidly but maintaining good form:

  1. Push Up (shoulders directly over kettlebells)
  2. Up and into position–>Double Kettlebell Bent Row
  3. Stand Up–> Double Clean (Dead Clean)
  4. Double Kettlebell Squat

Go through this circuit 6 times then immediately run 1/4 mile.  Repeat x 4. 

 

Don’t have two kettlebells the same size?  No problem.  Select two that are near in size.   Alternate which side holds the heavier bell.

 

I also ended up throwing in double presses.  It seemed the right thing to do. ;-)

 

This will get your heart rate up there!

 

If you give it a try, let me know how it goes!

  1. What a great-sounding workout! I’ll have to give it a try next time I’m feeling especially masochistic.

  2. Delish!
    Will have to use heavy bells for this- so that they dont get nicked (stolen) whilst am running that quarter mile.

  3. Oh, that one sounds like one of those workouts that tricks you into thinking “this is not too bad” to begin with, and then rips your lungs out while taunting you with jibes of “hah! I got you” and “so you thought you were fit, did you!” …

  4. Laura, Sarah & Dave – Yes, this one is “good” in a very sick way. Something about taking off into a jog after 6 times through the circuit. One you love to hate. ;-)
