3 Simple Kettlebell Exercises That Target Your Entire Body

Are you looking for new ways to workout or you needing a change in your current routine? It’s great to be able to explore different fitness techniques that add variety to your pro cheer audition prep. In that case, you may be interested in kettlebell exercises. 

Kettlebell workouts combine weight training and high-intensity cardio. This powerful combination maximizes your body’s ability to burn its stored fat. Not only that, you get to build strength and stability. Your posture improves as well!

These things are essential to your fitness for the audition day.

If you’re interested in kettlebell exercises, this article will show you three easy moves that work your entire body. All you need is one kettlebell!

Kettlebell Goblet Squat

Develop lower body strength with this simple exercise. For an added challenge, you can go heavy or increase your repetitions. Regardless of your routine for the day, there’s no reason to not include goblet squats. 

How to do it: 

• Stand with your feet slightly wider than your hips.
• Grip your kettlebell by the horns.
• Keep your arms close to your chest with your elbows pointing down.
• Bend your hips to lower your body so that you’re in your deepest squat.
• Return to the starting position.

One-Arm Kettlebell Push Press

This kettlebell move targets your shoulders, traps, and triceps. Not only will it strengthen these areas, but it also increases your core stability.

How to do it:

• Stand with your feet hip-width apart.
• Hold the kettlebell by its handle in your left hand. Keep it close to your shoulder.
• Do a half-squat.
• As you stand up, drive your left hand (holding the kettlebell) upwards. While you do it, engage your core.
• Return to the starting position.

Staggered Stance Triceps Press

This move targets the back of your upper arm, where your triceps muscles are. Since you’re working against gravity, this exercise is challenging. You can make it even more difficult by using a heavier kettlebell. 

How to do it: 

• Hold the kettlebell by its horns, with your arms above your head.
• Take one step backward with your left or right foot. This is the staggered stance.
• Bend your elbows and slowly lower the kettlebell behind your head.
• Bring the kettlebell back up to return to the starting position.

Final Thoughts

These are just some kettlebell exercises that you can get started with in your fitness audition prep. Make sure to maintain good form so that you don’t accidentally hit yourself with the kettlebell. Begin with a 15-minute or 20-minute workout to experience the benefits of a kettlebell. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!
