Kettlebell Exercises for Women

 

There are numerous kettlebell exercises for women and you can also do the snatch lift with the kettlebell as well.  This exercise is started as the other two mentioned above.  However, you will need to clean lift the kettlebell all the way up to your shoulder as you are standing up; while you hold your arms in, ensuring that you bend your arms at the elbows.  You will then need to hold the kettlebell at the sides while pushing it over your head. You will then need to ensure that you return the kettlebell to your shoulder position and then you will need to get back into your squatting position.  This should also be repeated ten times as well.

Kettlebell Exercises for Women

The kettlebell exercise routine is an alternative exercise to the dumbbell; however, it offers a unique form of workout base on how it is shaped.  The kettlebell is described as a cannon or a bowling ball, except that it has a handle.  The different shape of the kettlebell and the centre or gravity gives you a more traditional form of workout than the basic dumbbells that we are used to.

Kettlebell basics

With the kettlebell exercise routine, one of the most basic exercises is the swing that is done with you holding your feet, shoulder width apart and you holding the kettlebell in both of your hands.  Next you will need to squat and push your glutes out, while bending your knees, making your thighs parallel to the floor.

After you have assumed this position, you will then need to lengthen your back then swing out the kettlebell to the front of your shoulders while standing up.  As the kettelbell is coming back down, you will need to stoop into a squat once more and allow the kettelbell to swing in between your legs. This basic kettlebell routine is often times used as a starting out exercise or a small part to more complex routine. It is recommended that you try doing ten of these exercises at first.

The kettlebells can also be used to do simple deadlifts.  This exercise can be done by you starting in the same position that was mentioned before.  The kettlebell will be between your feet while you are on the floor but at this point, your arms will be extended, while gripping the kettlebells.  You will then need to stand upright with your arms extended allowing the kettlebell to reach to your hips.  This step should also be repeated for ten times.

There are numerous other kettlebell exercises for women; however, if you are just starting out you might want to stick to the basics.
