1. Two-handed kettlebell swing and deadlift
Stand straight, feet hip-width apart, and the kettlebell is on the floor in front of your feet. Take the kettlebell with both hands, swing it back and slide it between your legs, bending your hips and knees slightly, then perform a swing with both hands. At the top, the kettlebell should be at face level, hands parallel to the floor, after which you lower the projectile to the ground.
In the second phase of this exercise, step forward, grab a kettlebell, and do deadlifts. Place the projectile on the ground, take a step back. This is one repetition, you have to do five of these.
2. Row of kettlebell in slope with pause
In the starting position, you bend forward at the hip joints, your back is straight, the weight is near your right leg on the outside. With your back straight, lift the kettlebell with your right hand, and then pull your right elbow back and up until your fist is almost at chest level. At the top point, pause for a second, then return the weight to its place. This is one repetition. First, do five bent-over rows with your right hand, and only then change hands.
3. Split squats with kettlebells

Let in the first part of the approach the front (working) be the left leg, while you are holding the kettlebell in your right hand. Keep your torso straight and tense, and expand your shoulders. With the quads hooked in, slowly lower your right knee to the ground and then explosively lift up to the starting position. This is one repetition. First, do ten squats on your left leg, then switch sides.

Return the kettlebell to its original position, thereby completing one repetition. Do five jerks of the kettlebell with your right hand, and then move to the other side.
