Strength training IS for everyone! Sometimes people get intimidated with starting a new strength routine and think that they have to spend hours in the gym, where they may not even know where to start. Sometimes having a gym membership is not for everyone, so I encourage people to get comfortable with working out at home. Make fitness a lifestyle, not an option!
Kettlebell exercises are great if you are looking to lose weight, increase overall strength, speed and endurance. Kettlebell movements can be modified for all fitness levels, all ages and experience.
If you need a little motivation to get started on a fitness routine, I encourage you to buy yourself a new outfit! Get yourself a kettlebell and get this workout done!
Vast Terrain is one of my favorite fitness clothing lines. I love that they are a small company, started by two recreational athletes that truly did their research to a product that is quality, affordable and stylish. Vast Terrain is 100% sourced in the USA all the way from design to production.
Here is a brief breakdown of some of the elements that make Vast Terrain clothing top quality:
Xero Hydro- this provides excellent moisture control to help keep you cool and dry during your workout. Whether you are running a marathon, chasing toddlers, enhancing your yoga practice, or scaling large mountains, these unique fibers help draw moisture away from the body.
Mollia- Vast Terrain’s signature legging fabric is super soft and lightweight for optimal performance.
Argentum- A unique design that kills 99.99% of odor causing bacteria, by using antimicrobial fabric with EPA registered silver salts in the fibers that wont wash away.
Try these 5 kettlebell movements to increase upper body, lower body and core strength, while elevating your heart rate for a complete full body workout.
Continue each exercise for said amount of reps before moving on to the next. Complete a total of 4 rounds.
12 reps
25 reps

Sumo Deadlift High Pull
