Recently, I led a killer kettlebell boot camp at my studio, and we did a fun workout that mixed both some dedicated strength work (using just Kettlebells!) with some full-body conditioning. It’s the kind of workout that eliminates boredom, delivers shocking results, and makes you come back for more.

Reminds me of the first time I started training with kettlebells. I underestimated the intensity and ended up getting challenged a LOT more than I expected – and with a slightly bruised ego! 😉 But that experience taught me the value of perseverance. 

I shared that story with the group and it was great to see everyone push through their own limits with determination and humor. The camaraderie and group effort was awesome.

Here’s what we did – and if you want dozens more like it, check out my Kettlebell Boot Camp Workouts course, on sale this week:

I have a “little black book” of my favorite kettlebell boot camp workouts. I’m always adding and updating it. The latest edition has 82 total kettlebell boot camp workouts (and counting). 

About 90% of my daily boot camp routines come from that book. This saves me hours and hours each day of brainstorming new and fun training ideas. 

Of course I follow a plan and progression for my programming but this makes my life so much easier.

If you’re a boot camp instructor – or just a boot camp workout enthusiast – you should do the same. It’s a game-changer! 

After talking with many friends, colleagues in the fitness industry and fellow kettlebell enthusiasts it’s clear that while most people understand the importance of having their own “little black book” most just don’t do it for various reasons.

So I have a solution. I’ve compiled 82 of my favorite kettlebell boot camp workouts for you to “borrow” and use with your campers (and yourself)! They’re available now at the link below (updated and expanded edition):
