Bit repetetive but the basic long cycle is a good place to start (swing/clean/press/repeat) - can do alternating with one or two bells simultaneously. Most importantly watch your form & keep a strong core position - it's really easy to overextend your spine at the top of the swing, your body position should be like a vertical plank with your arms at shoulder height & back completely straight (i'd been doing this for years until an instructor pointed it out).
Turkish getups are great for strength & mobility - low impact too if you like that sort of thing

So we bought four kettle bells 8 12 16 and 20 kg
Today I did two YouTube routines as a complete novice with the 12kg bell

Just because they came up under beginner kettle bell on YouTube. Can someone point me in the direction of decent beginner routines.
I don’t want to end up massively muscled, just hoping to do some more dynamic strength work to compliment yoga mountain biking and swimming.
