What Is The Single Best Kettlebell Exercise

This is super tough to pick only one... but if I had no choice.

I'd choose the Turkish Get Up .

As I explain why... I'll do a heavy turkish get up so you can see why I think this is the single best kettlebell exercise.

Then I'll tell you... the close second... best kettlebell exercise.

Kindal on the ground in the first position of the get up.

Kindal in the second position of the Turkish get up thrusting the kettlebell up so she's on her forearm.

Kindal in the second position of the Turkish get up finding her hand.

Kindal in the fourth position of the Turkish get up. She pushed into her heel and her hand and found the best looking position of the get up.

Kindal finding the fifth position of the Turkish get up. This is the hardest position where you have to get your knee to get all the way back and provide support.

Kindal finding the sixth position of the Turkish get up. She is in the kneeling position and ready to finish the standing part of the get up.

Kindal in the seventh position of the Turkish get up. She is at the top of the get up and know is getting ready to go all the way back down to the ground.

First The Turkish Get Up Is Total Body

Every major muscle group is used whether it's to hold the kettlebell (isometric strength) in specific positions...

Or moving through the exercise to get up and down (eccentric and concentric strength).

Second The Get Up Requires Coordination

During the get up... you have to look at the kettlebell nearly the entire time for stabiization.

This means you need coordination and good proprioception to know where and how your body is moving.

Third The Get Up Requires Mobility

You will be forced into positions... like when you have to bring your leg into your body so you can come up to the kneeling position.

This is tough. It requires mobility. You should strive to do workouts and exercises that force your body into new positions.

Finally The Get Up Is Really Fun!

It's a fun exercise.

It's a really fun movement...
It looks really cool...
You can do fun variations to make it super hard...

Turkish get ups are my pick for the single best kettlebell exercise.

What Kettlebell Exercise Is a Close Second?

Kettlebell snatches!

Kindal in the loaded position of the kettlebell snatch.

Kindal in the part of the kettlebell snatch where she redirects the snatch so the kettlebell goes straight up and then she will punch around it.

Kindal punching around the kettlebell so she can get it straight up over her head.

Kindal at the top of the kettlebell snatch, fully extended and ready to get down into the next rep.

Snatches require strength and lots of cardio. So when you want to get your heart rate up and work on your pure level of fitness... start knocking out kettlebell snatches.

I like to think of them as the burpee equivalent in the kettlebell world.

Ready To Be Held Accountable To Hit Your Goals?

What I can't stand about the "corporate" fitness programs is how they think accountability and motivation is saying...

"You can do this."
"Come on. Let's do this together."

When in reality they only say this on video and you NEVER hear from these "trainers" outside their videos. Ever.

That's not how you stay accountable and motivated.

To stay accountable, you need a trainer who:

Works out with you LIVE
Talk directly to you... by name... during the workout...
Answers your questions in a private coaching group...
Knows your name and calls you out when needed...

That's what I do for you when you join FWW LIVE ... my private online personal training program .
