2 Kettlebell Exercises Worth Trying

After a long weekend of not hitting the gym and binge eating junk over Memorial Day I HAD to go to the gym yesterday. I needed to get back into my workout schedule for the week!!! I recently discovered a website that has incredible workouts and tutorials called PopSugar. I have been looking for some new weight training exercises and Kettlebell has looked pretty appealing...so yesterday I looked up some exercises and gave them a go.

There are two exercises for legs/butt that I tried yesterday:

1. Kettlebell - Squat and Swing

These are both great workouts and make squats much more challenging and beneficial! I usually do 50-60 squats on "leg day" and only did a handful of these but really did feel it. I hope you get a chance to try them out. I will be looking into some more exercises using the Kettlebell later today and will be sure to post about them if they seem worthwhile.
