Quick Kettlebell Warm Up

Warming up is not exciting.  But it’s a CRITICAL part of getting the most out of your training and staying injury free.

Watch the video below to see my three to five minute kettlebell warm up process:



 Quick Kettlebell Warm Up



(Video recap)

Start with getting some music going that you like and visualizing the session ahead.

- Next do your soft tissue work.  Hit areas that are specifically tight for YOU with a foam roll, lacrosse ball, etc.

- Do some kind of “cardio” – run in place, jumping jack, etc.

- The final segment is going to be some dynamic flexibility and muscle activation.  Two great examples of this would be the reverse prisoner lunge and inchworms or walk outs.

SO – now you have no excuse to skip your kettlebell warm up.  Just a three to five minute time investment before your training session goes a long way.
