Spartan 50 Kettlebell Workout 1

One of the things I like about kettlebells for people over 50 is that you can train multiple fitness qualities at the same time.

In this workout, the Turkish Get-Up builds shoulder stability, balance, coordination, and core strength.

The split squats and rows strengthen the legs, glutes, and upper back—areas that become increasingly important as we age.

The swings train power and conditioning without a lot of impact on the joints.

And the Total Body Attack finisher ties everything together with a short burst of strength and conditioning.

Part 1 – 4 Rounds

• 30 sec Turkish Get-Up (or Half Get-Up) – Right Side
• 15 sec Rest
• 30 sec Turkish Get-Up (or Half Get-Up) – Left Side
• 15 sec Rest
• 30 sec Kettlebell Swings
• 15 sec Rest

Part 2 – 4 Rounds

• 30 sec Split Squat – Right Side
• 15 sec Rest
• 30 sec Split Squat – Left Side
• 15 sec Rest
• 30 sec Single-Arm Kettlebell Row – Right Side
• 15 sec Rest
• 30 sec Single-Arm Kettlebell Row – Left Side
• 15 sec Rest

Me, when I haven’t trained with kettlebells in over 24 hours:

…and sometimes I wonder… are my kettlebells sitting in the corner thinking, “Bro… where have you been?”
