Kettlebell Basics

Kettlebells are functional, powerful, and deeply transformative, just like you 💖

In the Gymstrology™ universe, strength training isn’t just about aesthetics or PR’s. It’s about embodiment. It’s about becoming more attuned to your body, your intuition, and your lunar rhythm. Kettlebells are a great tool to help you get there.

🌕 How to Use Kettlebells

Kettlebells are super versatile—you can swing them, press them, squat with them, carry them, or flow with them. Unlike dumbbells, the weight sits below the handle, which adds a whole new layer of challenge to your grip strength, core, and stability.

🌙 3 movements to try:

• Kettlebell Swing: The queen of power. Drives strength through your hips and glutes, helping you feel grounded and fierce. They also build your shoulders, to give you an "x-frame" (makes your waist look defined)

• Renegade Rows: A spicy combo of core and back strength. With a kettlebell in each hand, you’ll hold a high plank and row one bell at a time, bracing through your center like the badass you are.

• Kettlebell Hip Circles: A fluid and low-impact movement where you pass the kettlebell around your hips in a circular motion. This move awakens core engagement, grip strength, and coordination.

When using kettlebells, especially as a beginner, start with a moderate weight and focus on form first. Every lift is an act of self love; don’t let your ego push you too hard.

🌕 Benefits of Kettlebell Training

The real magic of kettlebells lies in their ability to build not just physical strength, but integrated, functional movement that translates into real life.

🌙 Benefits include:

• Full-body strength and conditioning

• Improved coordination and core control

• Endurance (without having to do boring cardio machines)

Plus, there's something deeply empowering about swinging a kettlebell with confidence. It reminds you that your body is capable, intuitive, and strong in every phase—new moon to full.

Kettlebells aren’t just a fitness trend. They’re a portal into presence. A chance to feel grounded, strong, and centered in your body. Whether you're lifting heavy under a full moon or squeezing in a quick session between meetings, know this:

You’re not just training your muscles. You’re cultivating the kind of empowered strength that carries over into every part of your life. EVERY. SINGLE. PART.
