Kettlebell training
If you’re after an unparalleled upper-body workout, look no further than kettlebell training. Kettlebells can be used for a variety of exercises such as swings, snatches, cleans, and presses – all sure to result in maximum muscle gain!
Kettlebell training is an excellent way to build muscle, increase strength, and improve cardiovascular health.
If you are new to kettlebell training, it is important to start slowly and progress gradually. Choose a weight that is comfortable for you and that you can swing without compromising your form.
Once you feel comfortable with the movement and form, increase both the weight and number of reps.
All about the hinge
When you swing the kettlebell make sure you aren’t bending or locking your knees too much.
The most crucial element to focus on when swinging a kettlebell is your hip hinge.
Make sure you pivot from the hips, you should feel it pulling slightly on your hamstrings, butt, and calves. If you don’t hinge correctly, you will over time put more pressure on your lower back.
This routine is made up of 11 exercises to do as many controlled reps as possible, with one round of action to work through, which will take you around 20 minutes to complete.
The aim is to give 100 per cent effort during each exercise while also paying attention to your form and breathing.
