Minute of Strength #1: get started with kettlebells

[Strongintime0887]

That slump is painful to watch. She did the swings pretty good and then she rounded her back and put the bell down. Doing that after a hard work out is a bad idea that you will get away with 99 out of 100 times

Good job Deb

her knees bend out, very bad! she should try a wider stand...

[vaporww2ot]

Dude, the knees are going in whichever direction her toes are pointed. She's got good form.

[agentgordon27]

Yup, same direction as toes is right, but the shoes are a little too cushioned.

[chursthouse]

cheating the body in believing that the weight she started off is light, forcing her body to recognise and adpat with that type of training, what about just lifting as many reps with a heavier weight? what this called, supersetting? giant set? dont understand what you mean by snapping the hips, is it good to snap your hips out in that fashion?

[Bigbigtaste]

Yeah, much like locking your knees the snap in the hips helps.

[PlanetMaker7]

That chick is bad!

[vibefrequency]

you don't want to lock the knees...the glute won't have a tight IT band to pull off of....

[grantntiger]

I like these video's, the exercises are really good.

BUT this woman is completely locking her knees when swinging the kettelbells, something that I have noticed in a lot of kettlebell training clips I've seen on youtube

[aosjeff]

Good eyes. Yep, there are several aspects of the core philosophy of kettlebell training that go against a lot of old wive's tales commonly accepted in fitness. In this case, yes, she does lock out her knees. What you can't see is that she is also "bunching up her upper leg muscles", glutes, and thighs really tight when in that locked out position.

[grantntiger]

Yeah I see what you mean, I was thinking about some of the movements while watching some of the other kettle bell movements and I thought that as long as you don't "jerk" straight into an over extension joint movement without resistance, your support muscles would take the strain not the joint itself.

I really liked the series of exercises in #9, how you run into one from another. I'm about to trya routine for a few weeks doing sonething similar (without the ropes).
