SPARTACUS KETTLEBELL WORKOUT FOR STRENGTH – “NO REST FOR THE WICKED”
I have to admit, it’s been a long time since I did a full kettlebell workout…and I miss them so much!
Using kettlebells to for strength and muscle mass is great, especially if you use challenging weight. The harder you work the more calories you burn too.
Because using kettlebells are ballistic, there are many more muscles being used at the same time accelerating your fat burning and muscle building.
Mike Mahler, a kettlebell instructor, expert and strength coach, indicates like weight training, there are five areas that are worth focusing on for balanced development of the body 5 Pillars of Strength Exercises and my workout incorporates most of them.
1. Press: 2. Pull: 3. Squat: 4. Lower Body Pull: 5. Core:
Covering the above five areas ensures that you build a strong and balanced physique.
I put together this workout that uses one kettlebell and your Gymboss Timer. It takes about 35 minutes and is super effective. Grab your Kettlebell, Gymboss Timer and try this workout today!

excuse me funk but you mean 16-24 pound no?
it’s 7-10kg for a men
Hi MRTA,
No I mean 16-24kg for men. and 8-12kg for women.
Kettlebells are different,especially when you are swinging. You may have to go lighter with the Windmill’s and the get-ups as those are challenging exercises, but the for the swings and cean and press, 16-24kg is where you want to start. Now learning technique is important so head to the Kettlebell Section of the website and look for the Kettlebell Basics post that will teach the proper form and technique for kettlebells – Funk
