We all know that exercise is important for our health. But did you know that there’s more to it than just lifting weights or running on the treadmill? Mobility is also key to maintaining a healthy body!

For one, mobility can help you to move more freely and with less pain. It can also help improve your posture and reduce the risk of injuries!

Now, if you’re like most people, you probably think of kettlebells as a great way to get stronger and build muscle. And while that’s true, kettlebells can also be a great tool for improving mobility. Think about it – with movements like Turkish get ups, squats, swings, and more, you’re using a lot of range of motion. This can help to loosen up tight muscles and improve your movement overall. Kettlebells are also a great way to get a workout without putting a lot of stress on your joints. This is especially important if you have any issues with joint pain.

So if you’re looking to improve your mobility, kettlebells are a great option. It can help with a variety of movements and can be done anywhere. Plus, it’s a lot of fun!

I’m excited to announce my 28-day Kettlebells and Mobility Challenge, which starts on Monday, September 26th. Sign up today at the link below and let’s improve our mobility together:

PS – Make sure to start light and increase the weight gradually. And if you have any pain or discomfort, be sure to stop and consult with a doctor or physical therapist!

Kettlebells are a great way to get a full-body workout, but they can also be used to target specific areas. If you’re dealing with aches and pains, then a kettlebell mobility workout can be a great way to stretch and loosen up your muscles.

This type of workout is designed to improve your range of motion and flexibility. It can also help to reduce pain and inflammation in your joints. Plus, it’s a great way to break a sweat and get your heart rate up!

If you’re looking for a kettlebell workout that will help to ease your aches and pains, then this is the one for you. Give it a try and see how you feel!

“Who would have thought that a seemingly simple workout would take the world by storm?

KettleRuck is a full-body workout that uses a kettlebell, a rucksack, and your own body weight to give you a challenging workout.

The workout is simple but effective, and it can be done anywhere, making it appealing to people of all fitness levels!”

^^ This is what I hope they’ll be saying when my secret gets out!

You see, rucking is a fantastic way to get some cardio in without all the impact that comes with running. You can also use your kettlebell as weight in your ruck. If you’re looking to get in shape or lose some weight, I highly recommend giving rucking a try!

Here are a few tips to get you started:

1 – Ruck for 30 to 60 minutes continuously with a load of 10-50 lbs (a kettlebell works great for this)
2 – 30 lbs is a great sweet spot for most
3 – You can wear boots if you’re preparing for something specifically that will require it; running shoes are also fine
4 – March at a pace quicker than a stroll, with purpose
5 – Shoot to get your heart rate in the 60-70% of max heart rate range
6 – Not required, but if you can, pick a route with a few hills / un-even terrain
7 – Make sure your kettlebell is not going to slam into your back – wrap it in a towel before putting them in your ruck

If you have a sturdy backpack you think will work for this, you’re all set! If you are looking to purchase one, check out the EVATEC Tactical Backpack linked below first – it’s solid quality (I use it personally!), and for a limited time it’s FREE (you just pay shipping):

-> EVATEC Tactical Backpack – FREE (you pay shipping)

I look forward to hearing about how you’re doing YOUR part to make the KettleRuck workout a global sensation! 😉
