Workout 1 : Kettlebell Swing
10 series of 10 repetitions
Rest 10 – 20 seconds
Repeat 10 times
Really simple to run, starting from the standby position, standing with the kettlebell in front of your feet.
Hold the kettlebell firmly with both hands and let it swing in a controlled movement with the help of the hips and buttocks, helping you with the core to make the movement safe and stable.
In the ascending movement you can choose to move the kettlebell up to the height of your head by making an imaginary quarter of a circle, or perpendicular to the shoulders to reach a half full circle.
The descending phase is of vital importance, you control the movement and try to control the movement using all the central muscles of the body.
Repeat for a number of repetitions ranging from 10 to 15 for each round, to familiarize yourself with the tool.
This first workout is a fundamental basic workout that will condition the whole body and will quickly improve our cardiovascular system.
With practice we should be able to complete this workout in just 6 minutes.
Workout 2 : Kettlebell Clean
5 series of 10 repetitions
Rest 10 – 20 seconds
Repeat 10 times
The Kettlebell Clean is a simple but essential exercise to raise awareness of our body when using this fitness tool.
From the floor, lift the kettlebell and bring it to the chest in a lock position, with a fluid movement.
From this position you can then go to do several exercises including : press, long, squat
There are several ways to run the Kettlebell Clean; Swing Clean, Dead Clean, Single Leg Clean, Bottoms Up Clean and many other multi-exercise combinations.
The Kettlebell Clean will change your entire approach to movement, not only it will condition the core muscles but it will build stability and mobility throughout your body preventing future injuries.
