About The Author
First of all, let me say a big thank you
for being an action taker and investing
in this program. What a super star you
are!
I’ve no idea how you find this program
or me for that matter, but I’ve gotta
say I’m super happy to be sharing this
information with you and I truly hope
that what you are about to read (and
follow) opens your eyes to the world of
accelerated fat loss with the magic of
kettlebells.
Now in all honesty, you don’t need to read this bit about me…so, if you
wanna get stuck straight into the workouts, etc I totally understand
However, if you’d like to know a wee bit about ickly old me carry on…
I started in the fitness industry as a personal trainer after finishing my
degree in Sports Science at Staffordshire University in England. And of
course, as a personal trainer with lofty ambitions I packed up my bags
and went to straight to London.
London was great, but Mrs W and I got fed up and wanted a better
work/life balance…so, we moved to London by the sea…also known as
Brighton!
I still train a few select clients each week, because I enjoy that part of
my work, but I now help way more people all over the World via the
ol’tinterweb, which I’ll admit is pretty cool!
And that’s exactly my focus: to help as many peeps as I can, no matter
where they live, to improve their health, fitness and vitality. Its brill, when
I get emails coming in from people all over the World telling me how
I’ve helped them lose weight or completely transform their health. I
love it!

Swings
If you’re not the most athletically gifted person then you may struggle to get the
technique right first time when it comes to the kettlebell exercises.
Start off with a light weight until you have mastered the technique and then
increase the weight. Seriously, kettlebells are a fantastic way to exercise but they are
also responsible for a lot of injuries from those who try to perform the exercises
without the correct technique.
So take care! You have been warned!
Having said this, the swing is one of the most basic exercises you can do with the
kettlebell.
It will work your hamstrings, your lower back and your core.
Oh, and of course it will raise your heart rate and increase your rate of breathing.
1. The starting position of the two arm kettlebell swing is with the kettlebell on the
ground in front of you.
2. Squat or deadlift the kettlebell so that you are then standing tall with shoulders
back and arms hanging with the bell positioned in front of you.
3. Start the movement by ‘hiking’ the kettlebell through your legs and then drive your
hips forward to propel the kettlebell through its arc.
4. Your arms are just hooks and the power comes from the movement of the hips
and your hamstrings, glutes and lower back.
8 Access Video Coaching Center
5. Swing the kettlebell to about chest height. At the top of the movement breathe
out whilst contracting your quads, glutes and your abs (by tilting your pelvis up).
6. Breathe in and hold your breath as you let the kettlebell free fall back between
your legs so that it passes through your legs above knee height.
7. Forcefully extend your hips to start the movement again.
9 Access Video Coaching Center
1-Arm Swings & Alternate Arm Swings
1. Stand tall with feet slightly more than shoulder-width apart.
2. Hold kettlebell with one hand, palm down and arms in front of body.
3. Bend knees slightly and thrust hips back, as you would do for a squat,
but don’t go down as far.
4. Maintaining a fluid motion, drive hips forward explosively while
swinging the kettlebell forwards with one hand to shoulder height,
engaging hips and glutes all the time. Swing the other arm out at the
same time to maintain your balance and help drive momentum. The
hips and glutes, rather than your arm, should be driving the kettlebell
forward.
5. Take kettlebell in your other hand after swinging it back between
your legs and swing it out again, focussing on the hip thrust to power it
out.
6. Repeat swinging motion for the desired repetitions per side, or time.
10 Access Video Coaching Center
Goblet Squat
1. Hold a kettlebell by the handle close to your chest and assume a
comfortable stance.
2. Bring your knees out as you squat down to bring the kettlebell
between them.
3. Looking straight ahead at all times, squat as low as you can. Pause at
the bottom of the squat.
4. Keep your head and chest up, with your back in spine-neutral
position (straight).
5. Rise back up by driving through your heels.
11 Access Video Coaching Center
Lunge (Pass Through)
1. Stand upright holding a kettlebell in your right hand.
2. Step forward with your right foot and bring your torso (still held upright
in the neutral-spine position) down by flexing your knee and lowering
your body through your hips. Lower your back knee until it nearly
touches the ground.
3. As you lunge, pass the kettlebell under your right leg to your right
hand.
4. Pressing through the heel of your right foot, return back to the upright
starting position and repeat on the other side.
12 Access Video Coaching Center
1-Arm Squat (Front Squat)
1. Pick up a kettlebell with your right hand.
2. Bring the kettlebell into the rack position (as seen in pic). Keep your
right elbow by your side, your ‘bell in front of your right shoulder, and
your palm facing in.
3. Push your hips back and lower your body into a squat until your
thighs are parallel to the floor, and then stand back up, pushing up
through your heels.
13 Access Video Coaching Center
Clean
1. Start with the kettlebell between your feet.
2. Bend your knees to reach down and grip the handle of the kettlebell
with your right hand, your thumb pointing behind you.
3. Bring the kettlebell up with an upward thrust of your hips, letting the
momentum move your arm up to your shoulder.
4. The kettlebell should end in the “rack” position: resting on the
forearm, which is tucked close to the body, the fist at your chest.
5. Bring the kettlebell back down using the swing pattern and repeat
the entire movement again.
14 Access Video Coaching Center
Clean & Press
1. Place a kettlebell on the ground between your feet.
2. As you bend down to grab the kettlebell, push your butt back and
keep your eyes looking forward.
3. Swing the kettlebell between your legs as you would do with a 1-arm
swing.
4. Quickly reverse the direction and drive through forcefully with the
hips.
5. Bring the kettlebell straight up using the momentum created whilst
keeping it close the body. This part has to be done quickly otherwise it’ll
look more like a bicep curl. I don’t want the kettlebell to flip over your
wrist with a bang, so instead rotate your forearm and open your hand
slightly so that the kettlebell sits on the outside of your wrist.
6. As you catch the kettlebell on the outside of the arm descend into a
partial squat.
7. Explosively drive upward with legs, driving the kettlebell up off your
arm and overhead.
8. Lower the kettlebell to the front side of your body, catching it on the
side of your arm with your wrist straight while dropping into the partial
squat position again.
9. Stand tall and then allow the kettlebell to fall following the swing
movement.
15 Access Video Coaching Center
Towel Bentover Row
1. Take a towel and thread it through the handle of the kettlebells and
place it in front of you.
2. Bend knees slightly.
3. Bend over to pick up the kettlebells while maintaining a neutral spine
position.
4. Pull kettlebells towards your stomach using the ends of the towel,
while maintaining neutral spine position (back straight, chest out) and
keeping your elbows tucked in.
5. Lower the kettlebell and repeat for reps or time.
16 Access Video Coaching Center
Snatch
The snatch is an evolution of the swing, press and clean; a hybrid that is
a tricky one to master, but once you’ve got it, you’ll love it!
1. Start with your feet shoulder width apart and toes pointing out
slightly.
2. Pick up the kettlebell with one hand with your thumb positioned
towards the inside of the bell.
3. Stand tall with your chest forward, shoulders back and abs slightly
contracted.
4. Begin the movement with a powerful hip drive using the swing
movement.
5. Your explosive hip drive will allow the movement to continue up in a
swing like movement, but as the weight passes your waist pull the ‘bell
towards you slightly, which I call the ‘kink’.
7. There are two ways to do this next part. I find that rotating the
forearm so the kettlebell sits on the outside of the wrist prevents ‘wrist
bang’(where the kettlebell flips over the top of the hand and, if timed
incorrectly, bangs the wrist).
17 Access Video Coaching Center
This works well for newbies, but would be frowned upon by hard-core
kettlebell users and as soon as you start using heavier weights you are
really going to hurt yourself.
The ‘hard-core’ way is to let the kettlebell flip over with your arm slightly
bent (if it’s straight already, the weight is either too light, or your timing
isn’t right just yet). As the kettlebell is flipping over your hand to the
back of your forearm, think “PUNCH” and punch upwards. This will help
with the shock absorption, if you time it right that is.
8. Once in the top position with your arm extended directly to the sky
and almost touching your ear all that is left to do is reverse the
movement.
Common Mistakes:
Newbies often overuse their arms when attempting the swing, when in
actual fact most of the power should be coming from your hips.
Overuse of the arms might work with lighter weights, but it’s not going
to help when you try snatching heavier weights.
Another big mistake I often see newbies make with the snatch is trying
to ‘swing’ the bell overhead without a ‘kink’ (aka a pull). Notice the
image and the kink in my arm before driving the ‘bell overhead. but
18 Access Video Coaching Center
Slingshot
If you Google this exercise you will find a basic version whereby you
swing the kettlebell around your back passing between your hands.
This basic version is okay for a warm-up routine, but it won’t do much to
get your heart rate up. The outline below gives the slingshot a kick up
the backside and will be far better suited to our metabolic conditioning
needs.
1. If you’re not familiar with kettlebell exercises start this exercise by
passing the kettlebell backwards between your legs in a figure of 8
motion whilst holding a squat position and keeping your back neutral.
To help you progress the figure of 8 motion is best kept an imperfect
one. By this I mean that the kettlebell is better passed from hand to
hand whilst positioned closed to the leg. Otherwise you will have to
reach too far behind which will compromise your back position. Once
you can do this at speed (and without dropping the kettlebell) you can
move onto to the next step.
2. Now for the fun part. As you bring the kettlebell around your right leg
with your right hand stand up forcefully and ‘sling shot’ it up from the
19 Access Video Coaching Center
outside of your shin across the front of your body towards your left
shoulder.
3. Your left hand will catch the ball of the kettlebell and allow it to sit on
the left shoulder.
4. Pause for a moment.
5. Let the kettlebell drop in a downward arc so that the natural swing
takes the weight back through your legs over to the left side of your
body.
6. As the kettlebell falls, position your body into a partial squat with a
neutral back and prepare your hands for the transition.
7. Pass the kettlebell to your left hand by reaching behind your left leg
slightly.
8. From here bring the kettlebell around your left leg with your left hand,
stand up forcefully and ‘sling shot’ it up from shin height across the front
of your body towards your right shoulder.
9. Repeat.
20 Access Video Coaching Center
1-Arm Push Press
You might think that this exercise is all about the shoulders if you’re not
familiar with it, but in actual fact we want to get your legs working as
well.
1. Position your feet shoulder-width or slightly wider and hold the bell at
shoulder height in the rack position.
2. Bend your knees slightly and push your hips backwards.
3. Forcefully drive your hips forward whilst standing tall and pressing the
weight overhead.
Think of fast snapping motion, rather than a slow and controlled
movement.
4. Finish with your arm straight and the weight locked out overhead.
21 Access Video Coaching Center
2-Arm Overhead Press
1. Hold the kettlebell at chest height with two hands.
3. Bring the palm of your left hand to the ball of the kettlebell with your
thumb placed through the handle and then slide your right hand into
the same position.
4. Press kettlebell vertically overhead while leaning forward from your
waist so the weight is positioned over the crown of your head with your
head through the ‘window’.
5. Bring the kettlebell down to your chest and repeat.
22 Access Video Coaching Center
Thruster
1. Clean the kettlebell into the rack position.
2. From this starting position, drop into the squat by pushing your hips
backwards and bending your knees. Try to go down as low as possible
while avoiding the Hunchback of Notre Dame position.
3. As you drop into the squat you may need to raise your elbow on the
kettlebell arm and bring your other hand out for balance.
4. Once you hit the bottom of the squat, drive yourself up again by
extending your knees and hips and driving through your heels.
5. As you drive yourself up from the squat, press the kettlebell by
extending your arm straight up.
23 Access Video Coaching Center

ground.
6. From here slide your right leg backwards underneath your body, so
that you have it supporting a lunge position behind you.
7. Keep looking straight up at the locked out kettlebell, and slowly
stand up.
8. Reverse the motion back to the start position and repeat.
24 Access Video Coaching Center
1-Leg Stiff Deadlift

Towel Bicep Curl
This exercise breaks our rule of working several muscle groups, as it
primarily works just the biceps. However, I’ve put this in here for peeps
who like to work their guns
You can do a bicep curl holding the ‘ball’ or the handle of kettlebell,
but I find it’s more effective to use a towel and do the bicep curls in
‘hammer’ fashion.
1. Thread a towel through the handle of the kettlebell and hold the
ends of the towel with each hand with your palms facing each other.
Stand tall lifting the bell off the ground with your arms pointing to the
ground.
Keep your elbows close to your torso and rotate the palms of your
hands until they are facing forward.
This will be your start position.
2. Now, keeping the upper arms stationary, exhale and curl the weight
up towards your shoulders while contracting your biceps.
Hold the contracted position for a brief pause as you squeeze your
biceps.
3. Inhaling, slowly begin to lower the dumbbells back to the starting
position.
34 Access Video Coaching Center
Swing Combo (Catch, Goblet Squat &
Overhead Press)
1. Before trying this exercise you should have already mastered the
swing, goblet squat and the overhead press.
2. The only part of the movement that you’ll need to deal with is the
‘catch’. This is the phase when the ‘bell moves from the swing to the
chest.
3. To catch the ‘bell during the swing wait for it to reach waist height
and then slide your hands from the handle to the ball of the ‘bell, so
that your thumbs are inside the handle and your palms are holding the
the ball of the ‘bell.
35 Access Video Coaching Center
4. From here you can either push the ‘bell back into the swing
movement or execute another exercise, such as the goblet squat or
the overhead press.
37 Access Video Coaching Center
Burpees
1. Start by giving yourself a little fist bump.
2. Drop both hands down to the ground with your knees next to your

c) Replace the exercise with full body extensions.
40 Access Video Coaching Center
Lunges
1. Step forward with one foot making sure that you’re not walking on a
tight rope, so to speak.
2. Once your front foot is in place, drop your back knee down to the
ground so that your back is straight and you’ve got a 90 degree bend
in each leg.
It’s also important that your front knee doesn’t lean forward over your
toes.
41 Access Video Coaching Center
3. Push off the heel of your front foot and travel back to the start
position.
4. Repeat the movement again on the other leg.
Alterations:
a) Perform static lunges instead.
b) Use a chair/kitchen side/random person to maintain your
balance.
42 Access Video Coaching Center
Static Lunges
1. Start by taking a stride forward and making sure that your feet aren’t

Make sure you don’t lean forward over the front knee.
Alterations: Hold on to a chair if you’re balance is all over the shop.
43 Access Video Coaching Center
Squats
