There are times in life when you may only have access to one weight. For instance, you might find yourself at a hole-in-the-wall gym that offers only a paltry selection of mismatched kettlebells and you won’t be able to do your ideal kettlebell workout. You could be visiting family and discover a single bell that’s been gathering dust in a corner of the garage. Or, you may have scrounged up the money to buy just one kettlebell, and now you’re wondering how you can make the most of it-because, right now, you can’t afford another.
Whatever the circumstances, you need a workout you can do with a single piece of iron, and Juan Leija, former Director of Fitness Programming at Onnit (@juannit_247 on Instagram) has one for you. It not only offers strength training but also includes a warmup, and, at the end, a conditioning circuit to burn fat and build endurance. See the video below where he walks friend, two-time Highland Games champ, and Onnit Pro Athlete Matt Vincent (@matthewpvincent on Instagram) through the routine, and scroll down to see the program in writing.

I’m a trucker an as is tradition also fat. I’ve been looking for something I can do to fit into my day out on the road. This is it. I don’t have the best form but I’ve gotten stronger and I’ve lost weight. I started around 325 lbs and am at 265 now. Thank you for posting this video. It’s a game changer for me. And super simple

[@coffinfleet]

Congrats sir. Keep it up!!!!!!

[@FluxNomad678]

I'm a day cab truck driver. I lost weight last year but it's been coming back. I might give kettlebell a try to, but yeah it's a major challenge to manage weight and fitness. It's not just the sitting, but the work shifts are so long.

[@coffinfleet]

@@FluxNomad678 you can do it! Calorie watching and a little bit of exercise go a long way!!!

[@typicallyvirgo]

That is some serious gains in terms of your fitness goals and achieving a healthier body. Just one question - do KBs take a toll on the wrists considering how they make the hand bend a bit, backwards?

Amazing workout. I just bought my first 12 kg kettlebell. After this workout I was drenched in sweat and felt at least 5 years younger!

Always been a traditional weight lifter and want to integrate kettlebell work as well. Great video! God bless!

[@britt2088]

such a solid workout!

[@atverde]

This is NOT a beginners' KB workout. Some of these moves are quite advanced. I would recommend the Lebe Stark channel for a really good foundation on KB training.

[@MadameWesker]

I was thinking the same. I've been in an office job through the pandemic, looking to active again. I absolutely KNOW I can't do a turkish get up

[@lennardspit]

It is for beginners that are already familiar with non-kettlebell training.

[@leonramirez7672]

Yes thank you so much i enjoy these exercises

[@wpena1987]

Oh I'm adding this to the routine for sure

[@PeeB.]

Thank you guys.

[@fullfatfraser]

Thanks guys, been enjoying kettle bell Swings and trying to get more out of a home workout, this is an excellent new challenge!

[@Onnitofficial]

You got this!

[@MR-yp7mu]

Halo is a great move. I would recommend using it not only for warmup but also as your main movement. Your shoulders will thank you.

[@Onnitofficial]

Thanks for sharing!

[@jnananinja7436]

Do you have a preference on whether the weight should be on top or bottom when starting the movement? I’m not sure if there are benefits to one or the other, but they definitely feel different..

[@1rperry68]

Thank you for this! I needed something that checks all my boxes: quick ✅ full body workout ✅ challenging ✅

[@Dpj88]

Fantastic workout! Appreciate this routine! Thanks guys!

[@benB33388]

[@dqcelli]

Wow! That was excellent advice. Thank you!

[@QuadeQuick]

This is a great workout set. Thanks!

[@blockaderunner]

This is a perfect workout for any level I'd think. I get tired right at the end, and I just had covid 3 weeks ago. I started by buying a 25 pound a couple weeks ago. Today acquired a 35 pound which is 20% my body weight. I think I'll maybe one day go up to 40 or 45 but this is all I can handle at the moment for the FULL workout. The main reason I got a kettlebell was to do Turkish getups, but I think I'll do this workout as much as I can. It seems to hit everything.

[@SUPPORTYOURSELF]

New daily routine. Thanks!

[@delawareteacher1182]

I feel the workout from yesterday, great video!

Tomorrow im working on building my Murph Challenge numbers ups. I think I'm going to do this first (maybe minus the squats, since I'll be doing those with the Murph). Thank you coach for your time, and knowledge.

[@blackcoffeemetaltunes7513]

So sick to see Matt & Juan! Stoked to give this workout a try

[@jordantheokay3168]

I'm going to try this one tomorrow. In regards to the kettle bell I've worked my way up to 5 sets of 15 swings of a 90lbs bell but That's all I do with a kettle bell is swings. I'm looking to ditch bar bells and machines all together. If it can't be accomplished with body weight, kettle bells or dumbbells I don't want anything to do with it. For the last week at the gym all I did were swings and a stretching protocol to get my front splits back and have done. I'm 32 and I'm not getting any younger so I need strength in my shoulders. I'll do this sans turkish get ups, I've had a torn labrum repaired in my right shoulder a couple years ago and if you ask me that get up crap is clearly good for you in a lot of ways but it looks like a dislocation waiting to happen. I'll just try 35-45lbs bell for the whole thing. Looks awesome.

[@jakebalderrama7808]

Hell yeah 🔥🔥

[@JeffreyMcMahon]

That final Finisher is awesome, a greater cardio fat burner. Thank you for this.

[@growlerfrown487]

Good routine

[@jordantheokay3168]

Used a 40 lbs bell for halos. I put my ego in check and selected a 30 lbs kettle bell for the turkish get ups and did em, my shoulder didn't come out of socket. I own the swing because i practiced it for two years so I opted for a 90lbs for 10 instead of five reps did 2 sets of 10 push-ups along with that and I used a 40 lbs bell for the rest of the workout. It was so intense, I'm hooked on kettle bells now. I was surprised that I was able to do it. I've only been going to the gym for 3 years and I have a degenerative disk in my back and a repaired labrum in my right shoulder. I wouldn't exactly call it a beginner workout onless you've been exercising with free weights regularly for a cupple years and are only a beginner in kettle bells.

[@everpedregon8988]

That was pretty fun

[@Swan_Rons0n]

I like how for a beginner workout he's still feeling it. Makes me feel like 5-8 reps isn't to few.

[@r1pbuck]

24 kilos is no joke...52-53 lbs. A beginner should use a lot less...maybe half that or even a little less.

[@broaddusmarines]

Great video. What weight kettlebell do you recommend?

[@blockaderunner]

You need to turn your back leg/knee outward in order to post on the Turkish getup on the way back down.

I have a simple question. So after the warm up we should do one complete circuit of each exercise then do the second round or do the second round of each exercise before moving on to the next exercise?

Hello I'm just starting out (with kettlebells), what weights should I use or start with? My regular bench press is 120kg Any suggestions please 🙏?

[@patriciaparsons9680]

Thank you for adding the body weight only option because one should not use (practically) any kettlebell for those moves as a beginner. And that was just the warmup! lol

[@patriciaparsons9680]

Also, the same weight (for a beginner) should not be used for lower body and upper body.

[@ynnadk9859]

What is a good weight to start with?

[@genkishan]

Cool video, wondering how many Kg's should I get as a total kettlebell beginner

[@VikramTuscano]

Thanks guys, how often to do this full body workout? What is the recommended recovery time?

[@jorgebaruzzo6489]

normally, u train full body workout three time a week with one recovery day on between. Me personally train monday, wednesday and friday. And the other days i recover my self from the training.

[@blockaderunner]

if you want to live a long life past 100 yrs old you do only once every 2 weeks or once a week, sometimes I'll do twice a week but I go to BJJ class 1 to 3 times a week as well which causes me to lift people

[@gumgum7452]

Is there another kettlebell workout that is similar to kettlebell push press? I don't have a high ceiling and can touch it without raising my feet up, and I don't rly wanna workout outside, specially during winter.

[@mynameisurl1073]

Quick question - Once the workouts become easier, should the reps be increased or the weight of the kettlebell?

[@kettlebellken]

All valuable but Turkish getups will truly make your Foundation solid... didn't start implementing them until age 50 (10 years ago) will make a huge difference in your overall fitness
