]]> Kettlebells are sometimes overlooked, but they are actually a really effective piece of equipment to use in the gym. They can help you build muscle and they are very versatile. For squats, you can switch up your dumbbells for kettlebells and instead of shoulder presses, you can try out kettlebell swings. The weight on a kettlebell is distributed differently than a dumbbell so it makes you engage your core more to be able to use them in each exercise. Here are three of the best kettlebell exercises to add to your routine.

Kettlebell Swing

Start with your hips back, knees bent a little, and your torso leaning forward with your legs a little wider than hip-width apart. Hold the kettlebell with both hands, arms extended towards the floor. In one motion squeeze the glutes, straighten the legs, lift the torso and bring the hips forward all whilst swinging the weight to shoulder height. Arms should be straight at all times and keep the core tight. Bring back to start and repeat 14 times.

Farmers Carry

Start with feet together, a kettlebell in each hand, and arms by your side. Engage the abs and walk with the back straight the length of the room you are working in. Walk back to the start. Do this three times.

Single-Leg Deadlift

Holding a kettlebell in each hand, palms facing the body start with the legs together. Keeping your hips level, put your body weight on the left leg and extend the right leg behind you whilst lowering the torso and weights towards the ground. Stop when your back and right leg are parallel to the floor and come back to start. Do 15 reps for each leg.

#tuesdaytrainingtip People occasionally ask if I do cupping. The short answer is Yes…But probably not in the way you’re used to seeing (laying on a table). Instead I more often use cupping as way to encourage a specific movement outcome. These @rocktape RockPods are excellent in this role. For the single leg deadlift, for example, the cups encourage you to lengthen through the trail leg (which often bends for many people). Additionally the cups can enable an external cue such as “keep the cups pointed at the ceiling,” which as we know from the research is often a more effective cue than directing the cue at a specific body part. So in this case you get a little two for one…train a specific movement pattern while also applying a therapeutic stimulus. . . #kettlebell #kettlebells #kettlebelltraining #kettlebellworkout #kettlebellexercises #strongfirst #physicaltherapy #physicaltherapist #dpt #physio #physiotherapist #physiotherapy #coachkaren #lululemon #lululemonmen #golffitness #running #runners #runnersofinstagram #instarun #instarunners #instarunning #triathlon #triathlete #triathlontraining #ironman #ironmantri #ironmantraining

]]> Kettlebell swing is one of the basic exercises everyone learns once they incorporate this piece of gym equipment into their workout. If you’re new to this move, here are a few things you should keep in mind if you want to perfect it and avoid injuries.

Too Much Squatting

Many newbies tend to squat while doing their swings, instead of deadlifting the kettlebell. You’re supposed to hinge at your hips while doing this exercise, instead of bending your hips and knees the way you usually do while squatting.

Rounding Your Spine

If you’re feeling back pain after doing kettlebell swings, it’s probably because your back is too rounded during this exercise. It’s very important to keep your spine straight unless you’re trying to get injured on purpose.

Kettlebells are so simple, but complex to make them well. Kettlebells are like anything else, you have to put work and care into the production or they won’t turn out well. We work hard to make sure the iron is smooth for comfortable workouts and the powder coat is applied correctly to protect the iron and create a great grip for workouts. The recessed logo is different to protect your hands, wrist and forearm during lifts and not dig into your skin.

Arm Support

Kettlebell swings are supposed to build your hamstrings, glutes and lower back. You won’t accomplish this goal if you’re simply using your arms and shoulders to guide and control this piece of equipment.
