Home Workout for Legs & Back (Using 1 Kettle Bell or Dumbbell)
This home workout for legs & back requires only a single kettle bell or dumbbell. I’m gonna show you how to get maximum results with minimal equipment!
For women, if you are a beginner, I recommend using no more than 8kg/17lbs for this routine. For some, 6kg/13lbs will be enough, but if you are more advanced you will need a kettle or dumbbell that weighs at least 10kg/22lbs. For the guys, 10kg/22lbs-12kg/26lbs should work well for beginners, and 16kg/35lbs+ for the veterans. If you are short on weight then don’t worry. All you need to do is add more reps to these sets, or take away a few reps if the weight is too heavy. I’ll leave it up to you to decide!
