+List of all Kettlebell Exercises listed on Fitocracy:

(I plan to eventually get to a point where I can do all of these by heart, and maybe someday do a massive workout that incorporates all of them)

Two-Arm Kettlebell Swing

Grip the kettlebell with both hands with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width. Swing it up to face level with your arms semi-straight (slight bend at the elbow), then let it lower between your legs in a controlled fashion. Use momentum but keep it controlled.

Goblet Squat

Hold a single kettlebell in front of your chest with both hands. Squat as low as possible, flexing only your knees and hips, and then return to a standing position.

One-Arm Kettlebell Swing

Start with feet shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Grasp kettlebell at the corner of the horns. Arch back to provide a straight spine, making sure to avoid rounding out the back (to avoid injury). The pose will be similar to a gorilla grasping a kettlebell. Allows the kettlebell to hang between the legs. Initiate the swing by driving the hips forwards, and driving through the heels of the foot. Your arm should be extended, but not locked out. Ideally the kettlebell with travel in an arc, tethered by the arm, and pause at chest height before returning down again. It is important to not bend at the knees excessively. The motion should not be a squatting motion, but rather a thrusting motion of the hips, driving through the heels to drive your glutes forwards timed to coincide with the swinging of the kettlebell. Variations include transferring the bell from hand to hand at the apex of each swing.

 

One-Arm Kettlebell Snatch

Start with feet shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Grasp kettlebell at the corner of the horns. Arch back to provide a straight spine, making sure to avoid rounding out the back (to avoid injury). The pose will be similar to a gorilla grasping a kettlebell. In one fluid motion, bring the kettlebell overhead by thrusting with hips and legs, and punching up through the kettlebell, and locking the shoulder in place by locking in your lats. The kettlebell will essentially flip over the hand gripping the kettlebell and rest on the forearm. With larger/more strenuous weight, dipping the hips and ducking under the kettlebell is also accepted form. Using a slight swinging motion of the kettlebell to help provide lift is also common practice. The entire motion is very similar to yanking the starter-cord of a lawnmower or gas-operated generator.

Kettlebell Press

Take a kettle bell and bring your hand to chin level. Press the kettlebell overhead until the arm is extended, and with a controlled motion, bring the kettlebell back down to starting position to complete the repetition.

Push yourself up with your other arm until you have enough room to bring your opposite knee underneath you. Push off of your primary foot to stand up. Reverse these steps to lay back down. Repeat with the other arm. This is one rep.

One-Arm Kettlebell Clean

Start with feet shoulder width apart or slightly wider. Grasp kettlebell at the corner of the horns.

In one fluid motion, bring the kettlebell to chest level by thrusting with hips and legs, and punch elbows underneath the kettlebell and forwards – effectively catching the kettlebell in the rack position. With larger/more strenuous weight, dipping the hips and catching the weight by ducking under the kettlebell is also accepted form. Using a slight swinging motion of the kettlebell to help provide lift is also common practice.

Double Kettlebell Swing
