30-minute single kettlebell workout plan

Yes, you can do a plethora of exercises with just one kettlebell.

You can do both compound and isolation exercises with a single kettlebell.

Compound exercises work on two to three muscles at the same time. Turkish getup, KB deadlift, and kettlebell clean & press are some examples of compound workouts.

Isolation exercises allow working on a specific muscle at a time. One-arm floor Press, Kettlebell curl, and KB overhead extension are examples of isolation workouts.

Below I’ve shared an ultimate list of exercises you can integrate while creating single kettlebell workout routines for yourself.
