It’s been too long since I’ve posted a kettlebell workout. And since I particularly love using the kettlebell during pregnancy I thought it was fitting to share this full body kettlebell workout.
I understand not everyone has a kettlebell in their home gym, BUT YOU CAN STILL DO THIS WORKOUT, using a dumbbell {read more on that below!}.
If you follow along with my workouts and workout calendars, you know I’m a big advocate of mixing up your fitness routine; it makes it more fun and helps avoid fitness plateaus. I always encourage strength-training-lovers to give barre workouts a shot, barre-lovers to pick up some heavy dumbbells.
I believe a well-rounded fitness routine utilizes different workout formats to continue challenging your body in new ways. So if a kettlebell is a little outside of your comfort zone, that probably means it’s time to try a kettlebell workout.
I mentioned earlier, but I personal love kettlebell training during pregnancy as it’s a great way to raise your heart rate in a low impact way — enter the powerful kettlebell swing.
This AMRAP workout can be done with one heavy dumbbell.
If you’re looking to expand your home gym equipment, you can get a kettlebell on Amazon. I love the Amazon Basics Kettlebells, you end paying around $1 per pound of kettlebell which is pretty typical {ex. 25 lb kettlebell costs around $25}.
AMRAP can either mean ‘as many repetitions as possible’ or ‘as many rounds as possible’. An example of an AMRAP workout focusing on repetitions {or reps} would be completing as many burpees as possible in 5 minutes — like this 5-Minute Burpee Challenge.
Today’s full body kettlebell workout is ‘as many rounds as possible’. Meaning that completing all 7 kettlebell exercises = 1 round completed. Your goal it to complete as many rounds as possible in 30 minutes.
There are a couple of reasons why I love this format of workouts:

Repeat all seven exercises AMRAP, as many rounds as possible, in 30 Minutes. Take rest breaks as needed, but try to keep each rest break under 30 seconds.

Note, I filmed this Kettlebell Workout Video around 16 weeks pregnant. This workout is mostly pregnancy-friendly, but because every pregnancy and body is different please consult your doctor or midwife to make sure you are cleared for exercise during pregnancy. Additionally, modify exercises, like push ups and squat jumps as needed.
