There are several kettlebell workouts that are very similar to the workouts you use with dumbbells. However, the kettlebells adds a new twist. That twist is instability! Pretty much everything you can do with dumbbells or free weights can be done with kettlebells.
For instance, take a barbell and put kettlebells at each end, and do squats or chest presses. It requires a little more work on your part, because the kettlebells will be swinging with the momentum. If you do this type of training, stay safe and it’s probably a good idea to have a spotter. There is a risk of the kettlebells falling off the bar. A spotter can help prevent that, making the exercise safer.
How about a basic push up. Hold a kettlebell in each hand and as you push away from the floor, use one hand and lift the kettlebell toward your chest and place it back on the floor. We’re talking some serious stabilization from the core here. This exercise could also be done with dumbbells.
Whether you choose kettlebell workouts or not, it’s a good thing to change up the routine and give the entire body a big surprise with kettlebells!
