Here are some popular Kettlebell training exercises.
One Arm Kettlebell Swing:
The one arm Kettlebell swing is a Kettlebell training exercise where you first swing the kettlebell between your feet with one arm. Have your derriere pushing out and knees bend for the starting position. Keep you back flat and look ahead. Swing the kettlebell between your legs and then in one fair swoop pull the kettlebell out from between your legs. Raise it to about chest height (or as much possible) and then let the kettlebell swing back down between your legs. Repeat the action. This kettlebell training exercise is mainly for the hamstring and is not a front raise.
One Arm Kettlebell snatch
The beginning position of this kettlebell training exercise is the same as the kettlebell swing. Forcefully swing the kettlebell back between your legs and then reverse the direction and swing the kettlebell out from between your legs and raise it up above your head. The kettlebell takes a ‘J’ trajectory in this kettlebell training exercise. When you raise the kettlebell above your head remember flip and catch the kettlebell and prevent it from banging on your wrist.
One Arm Kettlebell Clean

Grab the kettlebell with one arm and remember to bend your knees and look ahead in the beginning position of this kettlebell training exercise. Swing the kettlebell between your legs in a backward direction then in a quick movement change the direction and pull the kettlebell up to your chest in the same momentum. You will come to an upright position at the end of this kettlebell training exercise.
One Arm Kettlebell Bottom Up Clean
