KettlebellBasics is having a Black Friday sale!

Apparently, the term “Black Friday” started because people would call out of work on the day after Thanksgiving to have a 4-day weekend.

In the mid-1970s, retailers started to use the term to describe the busiest shopping and traffic day of the year.

These days, Black Friday is when people crowd into stores in search of the best sale prices.

Luckily for you, the KettlebellBasics Black Friday sale is 100% online, so you won’t have to deal with any crowds!

Quick and Effective: 20-Minute Kettlebell Workout for a Minimalist

This morning, I had to make my workout quick because I have a busy week.

It was only 20 minutes, but it was TOUGH! I wanted to share it with you in case you wanted to try it.

If you liked this workout, keep an eye out for the KettlebellBasics Black Friday Sale 2.0. We’re adding to and expanding the sale we’ve had on all my top-selling products and courses.

Take a look:

Quick and Effective: 20-Minute Kettlebell Workout for a Minimalist

SUPERSET 1

Double KB Front Squats – 5 sets of 10

*The first two sets are to warm you up for the last three sets where you’re really working. You should be using the right weight here, so you can hold your form of course, but it should be HARD. Guys, maybe you’re doing double 44’s, 53’s, or double 62’s…. ladies, maybe double 26’s or double 35’s.

— minimal rest, move directly to —

Pull Ups – 5 sets of max reps – 1

*”Max reps -1″ means that you do one rep LESS than as many as you could do in one all-out set. I take a similar approach here and ease into it on the first two sets, then go for it on the last three. If you can do 7 reps in one all-out set for example, do 6… etc.

SUPERSET 2

Double KB Floor Press – 5 sets of 10

*Same approach as the squats. The first two sets are warm-ups and getting you ready for the last three sets where you’re really doing work. If you’re using the right weight here, you should be able to hold your form of
course, but it should be HARD. Guys, maybe you’re doing double 44’s, 53’s, or double 62’s…. ladies, maybe double 26’s or double 35’s.

— minimal rest, move directly to —

KB – loaded walking lunges – 5 sets of 8 per side

*Hold the KBs at your sides; choose a weight that challenges you but that you can do all reps with using good form.

#

That’s it! Keep the rest periods down and that workout should only take you 20 minutes.

How’d you do?

How Rucking With A Kettlebell Can Give You Incredible Cardio Workouts

In today’s video, I show you how to do some kettlebell cardio in a way you probably never thought of!

*The backpack I use in the video is available for free at this link, just pay shipping: https://trk.knxtrk.com/SH56

I got turned on to the rucking thing a couple of years ago because I was looking for a way to get a workout similar to running without the impact.

In basic terms, rucking is just where you throw some weight in your backpack and go for a walk.

Here are a few additional tips:

– Walk fast and with a purpose. You want to get your heart rate up to around 50-70% of max.
– Not required, but try to see if you can find some uneven / hilly terrain to ruck.
– Start with 20 pounds or so, work up to 50+.
– Start with 30 mins, work up to 60+.

A kettlebell is actually a really great weight to use for this workout. Plus, you can take it out at some point during the workout, do some KB moves, do some bodyweight exercises, and then finish off by rucking back to where you started.

The backpack I am using in the video you can get free at this link, you just pay shipping: https://trk.knxtrk.com/SH56

I use mine all the time, for KB rucking workouts like the one I break down in today’s video, and much more!

To sum up, if you’re looking for an effective and challenging way to crank up your cardio routine, try this kettlebell ruck workout.

Instead, when you pick up the kettlebell to start a Turkish Get Up, roll to your side, use both hands, pull it to your body, roll to your back, and press it up safely to start.

The Tense-Relax Stretching Method: An Informal Guide

The Tense-Relax Method is a quick way to gain muscle flexibility. You alternate between tensing and relaxing muscles in a certain sequence. It’s one of the big things emphasized in the Hyperbolic Stretching program that helps you do the full splits in 28-30 days without a warm up.

I’ll give you a brief explanation of what’s going to happen in your body as you go through the stretching exercises – then go check out the full routine here:

1- First, get into your stretching posture and stretch as far as you can go.

What happens here is that the myotatic reflex takes over and makes the stretched muscle tense, so you can’t stretch any further.

But with the Hyperbolic Stretching method, you consciously tense the already stretched muscle… and then something called the reverse myotatic reflex happens. This means your neuromuscular system will let you stretch a little further.

2- After a few seconds, release the conscious tension and move about half an inch further into the stretch.

3- Then, tense the stretched muscle again consciously, and another reverse myotatic reflex will occur.

4- Once again, release the tension and move a bit further into the stretch.

5- Repeat one or two more times until you reach your maximum stretch.

#

What you’re really doing with the tense-relax protocol is affecting and changing your neuromuscular memory system.

After a few weeks, your body will relearn and replace the old tension reflex with a reversed-tension reflex, making it possible to stretch all the way down to a full split.

The precise exercises you need to do, how to do them, how often, and much more is in the full program.

But hopefully today’s article gives you a better understanding of how the Tense-Relax Method works and why it’s so successful in producing quick results.

And all the best with your success!
