You’ve probably been taught to lift weights using slow, controlled motions, focusing on muscles and time-under-tension—and that’s a good thing!
But if you want to train for power, you need to let your body move fast.
Strength is the ability to move a load, and power is the ability to move that load quickly—and it’s an important quality to have as we age, because it impacts our reflexes, our balance, and our ability to avoid falls.
One of the best ways to train for power is with kettlebells. They’re challenging, and they’re more advanced for older individuals, but kettlebells are also worth taking the time to learn.
Explosive kettlebell moves, like swings, have to happen fast. Every swing rep challenges your glutes and hamstrings to explosively contract, and in doing so, you’re teaching your body to generate the power it absolutely must learn to generate.
