I LOVE kettlebell training.
It's efficient. You get a total body workout strength training workout... but also test your balance... and your coordination.
Plus your workouts don't have to last forever.
It's not the easiest strength training style to lean. It's technical... and there are some tough spots you'll need to overcome.
Like getting over the kettlebell initially bruising your forearm... but it does go away.

Don't be that person. I'll show you the best kettlebells to purchase so you can become a true... badass... kettlebellista!

This is the first skill you have to learn... the hip hinge.

So it's a very important skill to learn.

Master The Kettlebell Clean
It's a simple exercise... and in some ways not just an exercise.
It's also how you hold your kettlebell and how you transition to other kettlebell exercises.
And just because it's simple... does not make it easy.
The clean is pretty technical, but I'll show the one simple drill that will have you cleaning the kettlebell in no time.

Master The Kettlebell Snatch
This is the most fast paced and brutal exercise... all great things! Haha!
If you want an exercise that burns fat and yet mixes in strength perfectly... look no further.
Like the clean, this can be technical but I'll show you how to break it down into it's component parts.
Once you understand what the kettlebell does at each point in the process... you'll be able to put the whole thing together with the practice drills I'll teach you.
