Common Questions

What size kettlebell should I use for WODs?

For most adults new to kettlebell training: men start with 16kg (35 lbs), women with 12kg (26 lbs). For experienced athletes doing WODs: men 24kg (53 lbs), women 16kg (35 lbs). Use lighter weights for complex movements like Turkish get-ups.

What are the best kettlebell movements for conditioning?

Kettlebell swings are the king — they develop posterior chain power and cardiovascular capacity simultaneously. After swings: goblet squats, single-arm cleans, presses, and carries. These movements appear in most kettlebell WODs.

Can kettlebell workouts replace a full gym?

For conditioning and functional fitness, yes. A 24kg kettlebell plus a pull-up bar gives you 90% of the training stimulus of a full gym. You won't build powerlifting-level strength, but you'll be significantly fit and strong.

How many times a week should I do kettlebell WODs?

3–4 times per week allows for adequate recovery. Kettlebell training is demanding on the posterior chain and grip — joints and connective tissue need recovery time, even if you feel metabolically recovered.
