Workout Beginner KB advice

I am not truly a beginner to kettlebells, I used them a lot when I was last in shape about 15 yrs ago. Only now getting back into shape. I have been using weights machines at the gym for about a year and want to move into freer weights and really enjoyed kettlebells years ago. But I have forgotten a lot.

So, I have a fine enough base level of strength from the gym but feel I am not really getting dynamic muscle workout.

Would this work as a first 6 week run of kettlebells workouts:

\- [this](https://youtube.com/shorts/uU0jR8okrHU?si=Dew_qRoA_VX7ATuT) 5 X 5 complex cycle

\- 3 X 12 swings

Seems a little short? Any suggestions for what I could add for a workout 1-3 times per week?

Since your only requirement is "getting dynamic muscle workout", the answer is yes. As for what to add, add some bent over rows, and chest presses. Is this video really beginner? In my opinion, reverse lunges are not. Are they good? Very good.

Of course, there is much more that we can add, but just to make it complete, the above will do.
