Whenever you see a ‘full-body workout’, chances are squats and lunges are on the agena. It makes sense; these compound moves are excellent for building both bilateral and unilateral strength in the lower body, home to some of our biggest muscle groups. But while some people can’t get enough of them, they’re other people’s idea of hell. If you’re in the latter camp, this 30-minute full-body kettlebell workout from fitness trainer, Roxanne Russell, might be more up your street — no squats, no lunges, and it’ll only take you 30 minutes.
In her post, she explains that the workout “targets your legs, glutes, abs, arms, back, and chest.” A kettlebell works just as well as a dumbbell for building strength, but the key is applying progressive overload over time — making the exercises gradually more challenging by increasing the kettlebell weight, shortening your rest periods, or slowing down your reps (a smart option if you don’t have heavier weights available).
