New to exercise? Try this 3x/week home gym routine

Are you brand new to exercise?

Or maybe you were not athletic growing up, and you want something you can get started with at home?

Here’s what I’d recommend.

One Kettlebell Home Gym Routine

You just need one kettlebell.

Size recommendations:

  • Brand new: 26 pounds (men), 15 pounds (women)

  • Sort of athletic: 35 pounds (men), 26 pounds (women)

  • Totally athletic: 44 pounds (men), 35 pounds (women)

The movements:

  1. Deadlift: 2-3 sets, 6-12 repetitions

  2. Goblet squats: 2-3 sets, 6-12 repetitions

  3. Two-hand presses: 2-3 sets, 6-12 repetitions

  4. Two-hand rows: 2-3 sets, 6-12 repetitions

  5. Kettlebell push-ups: 2-3 sets, 6-12 repetitions

Do this workout 3x/week.

Repeat for 3-4 weeks.

You’ll be further ahead than you are today.

Hope this serves.
