'This is the simplest 3-move kettlebell workout you'll do', says a personal trainer, 'but the hardest'
A coach shares the kettlebell routine she recommends to challenge your body and get stronger without fussy or overcomplicated workouts.
This brief 3-move kettlebell routine, according to a personal trainer, is simple yet challenging. You only need a medium-heavy kettlebell and a 12-minute timer to get started. Begin by performing a squat clean: grip the kettlebell between your feet, lift it upward while driving it with your legs, and squat down as you catch it on your forearm.
Perform a down-up bent-over row next: place your hands on the ground in front of you, jump back into a plank, and row the kettlebell with one arm while keeping it close to your body. Alternate arms, then swing the kettlebell upward, squat down, and press the weight overhead before squatting again. Finally, complete a push press followed by an overhead squat on the other side.
Aim to complete 2 reps of each move back-to-back in your first round, then add 2 more reps for each subsequent round. Keep the pace steady, maintain good form, and focus on depth rather than weight. Complete as many rounds as possible within the 12-minute timeframe.
