The Start and Stop Swing: A Kettlebell Exercise for Strength

Most people think of the kettlebell as a cardio / conditioning tool, but it can also be used for building strength and muscle. Lifting heavy weights on a regular basis is key to getting stronger, so it’s important to pick exercises where you can move a lot of weight. The start and stop swing is a great choice for this goal.

To perform the start and stop swing, start in a STANDING position with your abs braced, your shoulders down and back, and your body ready to rock. Then, pass the KB back, swing it up to approx chest level, swing it back, and park it on the ground after EVERY REP.

The start and stop kettlebell swing is a great move for many reasons. Some benefits include the ability to handle progressive overload, practice with starting and stopping positions, using latissimus dorsi muscles, and staying in a safe position. These are just a few of the reasons you should add the kettlebell swing to your strength training today!

How Rucking With A Kettlebell Can Give You Incredible Cardio Workouts

On By adminIn General, Kettlebell Workouts, Tips and Tricks, VideosLeave a comment

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.

When you’re doing kettlebell Turkish get-ups, do you make this mistake? Most people just try to grab the kettlebell from a lying position on their back to get it into the starting position. However, this puts the shoulder in a vulnerable position.

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.

1 Tip for Reducing Kettlebell Low Back Pain

On By adminIn Basic Kettlebell Drills, Tips and Tricks, VideosLeave a comment

A common complaint for kettlebell users is back pain. 

While there are numerous potential causes, one of the most prevalent is incorrect form – in particular, swinging the kettlebell too low to the ground.

To fix this, keep the kettlebell close to your body as it swings back. The movement is similar to hike passing a football. Another great tip is to imagine throwing the KB through your stomach, and then getting the hips out of the way at the last minute. 

Watch the video demonstrating how to do this below:

In addition, be sure to check out my Lifetime Kettlebell Fitness 2.0 course for more instructional videos and a complete kettlebell training plan designed for people aged 50 and up:

Lifetime Kettlebell Fitness 2.0

Finally, if you’re already experiencing back pain, then it’s important to see a doctor or physiotherapist to get a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can try using ice or heat to relieve pain, and avoid any exercises that seem to make your pain worse.
