FROM: the desk of Forest Vance, Kettlebell Expert
Dear kettlebell enthusiast:
If you're looking to get shredded while staying mobile, you need to try my new Upper/Lower Shred kettlebell routine. It's a fun new take on classic muscle-building that's guaranteed to give you better results than anything you've tried before!
But more on that in just a bit...
When the pandemic forced many gyms and fitness facilities to close their doors, our team was committed to helping our clients stay on track with their fitness goals. We quickly adapted by offering remote coaching options for all of our clients.
I was concerned that some people might struggle to maintain their fitness levels during this time, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that many of our clients actually thrived. This was especially true for our "lean and jacked" kettlebell group.
The people who continued to train regularly and focus on healthy eating and taking care of their bodies saw great results.
I was worried about my clients' lack of access to equipment at the gym prior to the pandemic. However, we put them on an "upper/lower" kettlebell split - which combined the best of both worlds, with the classic bodypart split approach AND using kettlebells / bodyweight. They saw tremendous results! They got stronger than ever on many of the main kettlebell lifts, such as swings, snatches, presses, and TGUs.
Plus, they got leaner and more mobile and athletic, all at the same time!
This is the same basic programming template we'll be using for my Upper/Lower Kettlebell Shred plan.
Most of the kettlebell workouts I do are full body, which means they work all your muscle groups in one session.
That’s super efficient when you’re trying to lose fat, but it also comes with a downside.
When your body gets used to a type of training, it adapts and stops making progress. You have to keep mixing things up to keep moving forward!
This is why we’re going with an “Upper / Lower KB Shred” theme for our next kettlebell Challenge. The workouts will still be fast-paced, and you’ll still burn a ton of calories, but we’ll also incorporate the classic upper body / lower body split, so that you can change things up and gain even more strength and muscle than last time!
Here's how it works:

"Loved the program!! I was looking for new ways to condition myself ... and found it with this program!! I will be using Forest's other programs especially for strength building!"
- Joel Robinson
"I loved this program. I can't believe it's already been four weeks. The workouts were awesome and you gave us so much great information and motivation. I lost five pounds. Endurance is hugely improved. Definite improvements in overall muscle definition. I will continue to incorporate these workouts into my trainings. Excellent format Forest, thank you!!"
- Carolyn Rudin
Probably lost some weight, definitely got some muscles... but the larger gain is that it helped me move on a different level, it could have been either physical or mental limitation, not sure ... also it is totally okay to do KB strength and this program's cardio together ... I will be doing HIIT and cardio days differently from now on :)"

Q: How many kettlebells will I need to perform these workouts?
A: Just a couple of kettlebells are all you need. Recommended starting weights are a 16k and a 24k for men, an 8k and a 16k for women - but these suggestions could be bumped up or down based on training experience and current fitness level.
Q: Are these workouts suitable for all ages and fitness levels?
YES! I have designed the program with this specifically in mind. We have a "foundations" week before the actual program starts, specifically designed with helping you learn the kettlebell form and getting your fitness level up to speed. Then the workouts themselves are also adjustable and can be modified for all different fitness levels!
Q: I have XYZ injury - can I still do these workouts?
It depends on the injury. What I find is that most people do one of two things when they get injured: 1) stop exercising completely, or 2) keep working out, change nothing, and make the injury worse. I recommend something in between. And I try to give as many options and modifications as I can for all the exercises, so that you can adjust for your own particular situation.
Thanks, and take care -
