The kettlebell is a fantastically versatile piece of equipment. You can use it for dynamic compound moves like the kettlebell swing, snatch and clean which are great for developing functional strength and power. But you can also use it for more traditional free-weights exercises to build muscle, as in this 20-minute routine from Juice & Toya, LA-based personal trainers and owners of One Body LA.
The workout is broken down into two blocks of eight exercises. You’ll work for two periods of 20 seconds for each exercise, resting for five seconds between exercises (switching sides if the move is unilateral), and then for 15 seconds before you move on to the next exercise. You’ll also rest for 30 seconds between blocks. Don’t worry if that sounds complicated—it’s a follow-along video so you can’t go wrong. Kettlebell newbies should keep an eye on Toya, who performs easier modifications of each move.
