One kettlebell, four exercises and 20 minutes to build strength all over

A man performing single arm kettlebell exercise.

Kettlebell workouts tick a lot of boxes; they’re great for building strength, explosive power, co-ordination, mobility, and can help burn some serious calories. Plus, more often than not, you’ll find one free in the gym, as many people still favour dumbbells. This kettlebell flow from Nike Global Performance Coach, David Carson, promises to fire up your major muscles in just 20 minutes, so put on your best workout shoes because you will 100% regret it if you drop this on your toe.

As well as strength and power, kettlebells are great for improving your cardiovascular fitness. In fact, according to the International Sports Sciences Association "kettlebell exercises can increase heart rate just as much as a typical cardio session". This is because kettlebell exercises work lots of muscles in the body at once, raising your heart rate, thus increasing cardiovascular intensity.
