Kettlebell Training Quick Introduction (free course)

Watch this short demonstration of a common kettlebell swing mistake: hyperextending the back.

Use the video to compare the incorrect position with the swing technique covered earlier in the course, and pay attention to how you finish each repetition.

Tip: Bookmark the video if this is a mistake you need to work on.

Watch this short demonstration of the common kettlebell swing mistake of hinging too deep.

The goal is not to copy one arbitrary depth for everyone, but to recognize when the hinge becomes excessive for the swing you are trying to perform.

Compare what you see here with the double-arm hip-hinge swing taught earlier in the course.

Tip: Bookmark this video if hinge depth is something you are currently correcting.

Watch a common kettlebell clean mistake in which the grip does not transition properly and the hand is not inserted into the correct racking position.

Pay attention to the difference between:

• Leaving the handle in the fingers

• Transitioning the handle diagonally through the palm

• Proper hand insertion

• Maintaining a more neutral wrist position

• Avoiding the broken-wrist position

These are the same fundamentals introduced earlier with the Assisted Dead Clean Drill and the slow-motion clean tutorial.

If this is something you're struggling with, don't just keep repeating bad reps.

Watch this short demonstration of a common kettlebell clean mistake: pulling the kettlebell higher than necessary before transitioning into the rack.

Compare the mistake with the clean technique and hand insertion covered earlier in the course.

The goal is to develop a clean in which the kettlebell follows the path required for the variation you are performing rather than adding unnecessary movement.

Kettlebell training does not have to mean repeating the same few exercises in the same order forever.

As your technique improves, you can begin exploring different exercises, sequences, combinations, and training formats to keep your workouts challenging and enjoyable.

Make fun a priority.

The best training program in the world is not very useful if you lose interest and stop doing it.

Kettlebells give you enormous scope for creativity, which is one of the reasons I have continued working with them for so many years.

If you want more ideas, KETTLEBELL MONSTER™ includes kettlebell workouts, programs, exercises, and follow-along training.

And if you create something you enjoy, share it on CONNECT.

Kettlebell training can go far beyond the gym. Learn why portability, variety, and enjoyment can become important parts of building a training habit that lasts.

A short reminder that kettlebell training is not only about sets, repetitions, weight, and performance.

Find ways to make your training something you genuinely enjoy.

Take your kettlebell outside, change your environment, explore different ways of training, and remember that consistency becomes much easier when you actually look forward to what you're doing.

Then continue to the next part of the course, where you'll see examples of what kettlebell training can progress into beyond the beginner fundamentals.

See where your kettlebell training can go after you have built the fundamentals. The following videos are examples of more creative and advanced kettlebell work, including combinations and different exercise variations.

Watch an example of more advanced single-kettlebell work using a Pass-Through Switch Clean within a combination.

At this stage, the objective is not for a complete beginner to immediately copy everything in the video.

Instead, look at how individual kettlebell skills can eventually be connected once you have developed the required:

• Technique

• Timing

• Coordination

• Control

• Confidence

Use it as an example of where consistent kettlebell practice can lead.

Finish this section with some inspiration and see examples of the variety that kettlebell training can eventually offer.

You don't need to learn every exercise you see.

Instead, use this video to appreciate how much room there is to continue developing once you have mastered the basics.

Kettlebell training can continue evolving through different:

• Exercises

• Movement patterns

• Training styles

• Sequences

• Combinations

• Levels of complexity

The fundamentals you have been learning throughout this course are what allow you to progress toward more varied training later.
