Kettlebells build strength evenly and effectively. The kettlebell is growing in popularity today, as it represents a relatively low-impact method of exercise. One exercise that is a favorite of body builders is the row.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Assume a forward stance with one leg extended behind you and the other knee bent. Place one forearm on your bent leg. This position can compensate for the displaced center of balance that is created when you do the one-armed rows.

  2. Step 2

    Pick up the kettlebell with your free hand. Lift first with your shoulder so you don't unduly strain your muscles. Bend your elbow after you lift.

  3. Step 3

    Turn your body slightly to the outside as you continue to lift the kettlebell. If you do this correctly, you should, as Rasul Ahmed Davis has said, "feel this all down your latissimus dorsi" (see Resources below).

  4. Step 4

    Keep tension in your body while you do the rows. Don't let the kettlebell rest on the ground. Instead, lightly touch the ground with the weight as you continue your repetitions.

  5. Step 5

    Do the rows on both sides to evenly develop the muscles in your body.
