Kettlebell routine?

Tiglath

I've just got a 5kg kettlebell - can anyone recommend beginner routines? I'm not new to strength-training and regularly use dumbbells and resistance machines, but not sure quite where to start with this. Cheers

look up chi chi fitness on youtube

Lots of kettlebell routines on youtube. You might find in a very short space of time that 5kg is too light for your needs though. It would be fine for overhead shoulder presses and windmills but when getting into some of the more explosive swings, cleans and snatches you'll benefit from heavier kettles. We tend to start off our ladies on 8kg but many are using 12/16/20 kg now.

Play.com sell DVDs cheaply. Kettlercise do a set of dvds. Rachel Holmes sells a 6 week routine with progressions for about a tenner. Amazon as previously said.

Some health and fitness magazines also show kettlebell exercises, when I get home I'll dig out the name of the one I use the most,

Thanks guys - I did the chi chi beginner routine yesterday. 10 minutes and my legs and core are screaming today! Think this is going to be a very good thing. Am going to do a Jillian Michaels Shred with kettlebells Youtube thing next time.
