 Hello everyone, Laura Kennington here. I've teamed up with Ellis Brigham to bring you some free workouts to improve your strength and conditioning for the trails. Today's session is all about kettlebells. Kettlebells are one of my favorite ways to train because they are super versatile and they don't take up much space. The other benefit to using kettlebells is that they target the posterior kinetic chain so the back of the body a lot more like your glutes and your hamstrings which are obviously very important for trail running and unlike maybe static machines in the gym you'll find that you have to use your core a lot more to stabilize the movements are a lot more dynamic so you get some bonus core benefits as well and again trail running is obviously often on uneven terrain so all of that bonus core benefits is really really useful. I think that's enough about how much I love kettlebells and the many reasons why I love kettlebells. Let's get cracking!
