Introductory Kettlebell Workout For Seniors (Intermediate Level)
In this 23-minute video, we guide you through a series of simple kettlebell exercises designed to engage your entire body.
Simple Kettlebell Exercises FOR SENIORS
What are kettlebells?
Kettlebells are cast iron or steel weights, typically shaped like a cannonball with a handle on top, used to do certain exercises. They look like this.
They range in weight from usually around 4 kg (9 lbs) and can go up to 92 kg (203 lbs), for those very, very serious about their strength training :) ..
Many are usually covered in coloured vinyl, to help you easier identify the weight. Which look like this.
They are designed to be swung, lifted, and manoeuvred in dynamic movements that engage multiple muscle groups and can improve cardiovascular fitness, strength, and flexibility.
So…. do you need to use them to get fitter and stronger? Nope!
But……. they are a great piece of exercise equipment, if you want to change up your training and try something different.
To change things up we go through some simple kettlebell exercises to work your whole body. So if you have some kettlebells, grab them and get moving with me! (You can do that by clicking the video below, or HERE)!
This video is an introductory kettlebell video and it is for those at a more intermediate-advanced level.
In the first part of the video (Round 1), I teach the exercise before we get into them for repetitions. Remember good exercise technique is crucial.
In the second part (Round 2) it is more fluid with the exercises (less chat).
We also go through some short mobility exercises in the beginning and a short stretch at the end.
Now if you don’t have kettlebells, they can be purchased from department or sports stores, or online. Or, you can follow along to this exercise video without any weight and still get in a good workout, you can also use a hand weight in place of the kettlebell.
I hope you enjoy this workout! More to come soon!
Remember to stay moving!
Stay healthy! Stay active, stay happy! and I’ll see you soon!

intermediate Full Body Workout For Seniors
In today’s video we we do exercises at a slower tempo with higher repetitions, and we also use equipment in the form of hand weights (dumbbells) and a resistance band.
If you don’t have the equipment, that’s ok! You can still follow along and get a great workout!
The video is 20 minutes long; however, I designed it so that even doing the first set will get results (you can progress to the 3 sets over time if you’re not quite at this level!). And in the first set, we don’t use equipment.
