Kettlebells are a great calorie burner, they are not balanced like traditional weights. Therefore they are more challenging and a great addition to any workout. Kettlebells are great for strength training, coordination and improves core strength and stability.
Here are three exercises that I incorporate into my workouts.
1. Kettlebell Bridge Pullovers: works on your glutes, back and core strength to name a few.
2. Kettlebell figure of 8: this exercise combines strength, flexibility and coordination, whilst doing squats, twists and swings.
3. Kneeling Kettlebell Halos: works your upper body. Kneeling brings another dynamic to the exercise, it encourages you to engage your core to assist balance.

All three exercises can be used with varying weights of kettlebell but I do suggest that you start with a weight you are comfortable with and then progress.

Have fun. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
