If you're a beginner, it's best to start with a kettlebell that is 10-15 pounds. As you get stronger, you can gradually increase the weight of the kettlebell.

There are a variety of kettlebell exercises that you can do. Some of the most basic exercises include:

Kettlebell swing: This is a full-body exercise that works the legs, back, and shoulders.
Kettlebell clean: This exercise works the arms, shoulders, and back.
Kettlebell press: This exercise works the shoulders, chest, and triceps.
Kettlebell squat: This exercise works the legs, glutes, and back.

Once you've mastered the basic kettlebell exercises, you can start creating a workout plan. A good kettlebell workout plan should include a variety of exercises that target all of the major muscle groups.
