Good morning!
I just got finished leading a kettlebell workout at my KC-area studio.
Everyone was still feeling the festive spirit from the last couple of days, but was also ready to burn some calories!
Afterwards, I had a chat with a trainer about how, as the years go by, it seems to be getting more and more difficult to stimulate our muscles and boost strength, without putting too much strain on the joints.
We both agreed that finding a variety of ways to work those muscles, without hurting our knees, hips, spine, and shoulders, is key!
Kettlebells can be the PERFECT tool for getting strong and in shape without putting extra stress on the body… and that’s why I created the Over 50 KB Revolution course – currently on sale this weekend – which focuses specifically on this type of exercise.
Take a look at the sample workout below and if you’re interested, grab the full routine on Black Friday sale HERE.
