01 / Requirements

Required prerequisites

    Necessary equipment

    For this program you will need Kettlebell. Leave room to practise the movements.

    02 / Program

    Build your path.

    Each phase prepares you for the next. Weeks are a guide: repeat a phase when you need more practice before moving on.

    1. Week 1–3Basic exercises and general conditioning

      What you will practise

      In this first phase, you will build the foundation of the program. You will work on fundamental patterns such as the hip hinge, the squat, pushes, and pulls, with the goal of conditioning the entire body and starting to gain strength and hypertrophy progressively. Even though these are the simplest exercises in the plan, this is where learning solid technique matters most. The Kettlebell deadlift, Kettlebell squat, and Kettlebell row will help you develop your glutes, legs, back, and core, while the Kettlebell chest press and Kettlebell shoulder press will begin to strengthen your chest, shoulders, and triceps.

    2. Week 4–6Technical mastery

      What you will practise

      In this phase, you begin to consolidate your technique and introduce variations that require more control and stability. We continue reinforcing the basic patterns from the previous phase, but now with greater technical intent and with exercises such as Kettlebell back lunges and Kettlebell hip halo, which add unilateral work, coordination, and control of the pelvis and hips. Kettlebell back lunges are especially useful for developing the quadriceps, glutes, and knee stability; take a sufficiently long step, keep your trunk steady, and distribute your weight well so you do not lose balance.

    3. Week 7–9Intensity and volume increase

      What you will practise

      In this third phase, both intensity and training volume clearly increase. You are no longer just aiming to execute well, but to tolerate more repetitions, more sets, and more demanding movements without losing quality. The Kettlebell squat and Kettlebell deadlift remain pillars for stimulating the legs and posterior chain, but now more demanding progressions come in, such as the One arm kettlebell row, Explosive kettlebell deadlift, and Walking lunges with kettlebell. This makes unilateral work, core stability, and the ability to generate force dynamically even more important.

    4. Week 10–12Advanced hypertrophy

      What you will practise

      In this final phase, you will focus on mastering the most advanced exercises and getting the most out of the full-body hypertrophy stimulus. The volume remains high, but now the technical complexity also increases with movements such as Kettlebell thrusters and Kettlebell snatch. The thruster combines a squat and an overhead press in a single sequence, so it demands leg power, core stability, and coordination between the lower and upper body. The snatch, meanwhile, requires an explosive pull and a solid lockout overhead; try to keep the kettlebell close to the body during the ascent and avoid hitting the forearm by guiding the turnover with control.

    The best. I've been on the pro plan for two years and have achieved excellent results. Resistance, strength, skill, and aesthetics, I've obtained it all thanks to the guidance of this app on this beautiful calisthenics journey.

    If the free option is already great, the pro option has to be amazing. I'm super happy. I'm a beginner, a very beginner, and really everything is simple, the exercises can be done anywhere without equipment, and it's helping me a lot.

    We recommend using intermediate breaks of between 1' to 2'30". If in any phase you find it difficult to advance and you feel stuck, you can try using longer rest times to try to complete it.
