MAKE KETTLEBELL SWINGS FUN

Swings are great.
Counting them isn't.

Kettlebell swings are one of the best things you can do for your body. But 30 minutes of counting reps? That's math homework. We fixed it.

THE FIX

A protocol that runs itself.
And sounds you actually want to hear.

KettlePulse knows the entire 30-minute EMOM. Changing reps, phase transitions, rest timing — all handled. Your phone goes on the floor. You pick up the kettlebell. That's it.

WHAT A SESSION FEELS LIKE
  • Tap Start. Phone on the floor. 3-2-1. Beep.
  • 5 swings. A fart sound plays. You laugh.
  • Next beep: 6 swings. Then 7. Arcade music builds with each rep.
  • Minute 16 — peak. 15 swings. AirPods show you're in Zone 4.
  • The camera counts every swing. No manual tracking.
  • Reps start dropping. 14, 13, 12. You're coming down.
  • Final beep. 320 swings. HR graph. Saved to Apple Health.
  • 30 minutes. Done for the day. You're smiling.
BORING WAY
  • Generic timer — can't program changing reps
  • Counting in your head kills the flow
  • Stopping to check your phone every minute
  • No idea if you're working hard enough
  • Just you, silence, and a kettlebell
KETTLEPULSE WAY
  • Beeps and haptics guide every transition — hands-free
  • Camera detects your swings automatically
  • Sound packs: arcade music or fart sounds per swing
  • Live heart rate zones via AirPods Pro
  • Science-backed protocol, actually fun to do
THE REAL PROBLEM

Kettlebell swings are incredible.
But just swinging is boring.

The science is clear — kettlebell swings build cardio, strength, and burn fat better than most exercises. But staring at a wall while counting to 15 for the 20th time? Nobody sticks with that.

You need a protocol that progresses (not just flat sets), pacing that keeps you honest, and — let's be real — something that makes you smile at minute 22 when your legs are screaming.

THE PROTOCOL

Not flat sets. A story arc.

Five phases that ramp up, peak, and bring you back down. Your body adapts to the wave — and 320 swings fly by faster than 30 minutes of anything else.

WHY THIS WORKS

Not a fitness trend.
Actual science.

We didn't invent kettlebell swings — researchers have been studying them for years. Here's what they found.

–2.1
Less Back Pain
8 weeks significantly reduced low back and neck pain in a randomized trial of 40 adults.
Jay et al. · Scand J Work Environ Health · 2011
= Run
Cardio Without Running
Same VO₂ and calorie burn as treadmill walking — while building strength.
Thomas et al. · J Strength Cond Res · 2014
9.8%
Stronger in 6 Weeks
Squat strength up 9.8%, vertical jump up 19.8% from swing-based interval protocols.

Large Fat Loss Effect
12-week program: large effect size for body fat reduction and VO₂max improvement.

HOW IT WORKS

Phone on the floor.
Kettlebell in your hands.

Audio, haptics, camera, and heart rate — everything works so you don't have to think.

01
Audio + haptics
Beeps at 5-4-3-2-1, double beep on the minute. Vibrations match audio. Works in silent mode. Your music keeps playing.
02
Camera swing detection
Place your phone facing you. The camera uses body pose detection to count every swing automatically. No buttons, no manual counting.
03
Sound packs
Each swing triggers a sound. Arcade mode builds music as you swing — you play the track with your reps. Fart mode... well, it farts. More packs coming.
04
Live heart rate
AirPods Pro stream your BPM in real time. Five training zones (Z1–Z5) shown during the workout. HR graph when you finish.
05
Apple Health
Every session saved automatically — duration, calories, swing count. Shows up in your Activity rings. No manual logging.
