TOTAL BODY MOVEMENTS

In our Strength Training System, most exercises that are being considered for a specific program will be placed into one of three general movement categories. Total Body Movements involve knee extension, hip extension, plantar flexion, and shoulder elevation. These movements incorporate all these joints at one time in a synchronized fashion and are typically the most sports specific by nature

KETTLEBELL MOVEMENT VARIATIONS

The use of Kettlebells is a great training variation, especially were working to engrain specific movement patterns precedes training with heavier loads.

Hip Hinge: Kettlebell

• Stand in athletic position. Feet shoulder width apart
• Hold a single Kettlebell to your chest with both hands. Maintain body contact with the KB throughout the movement
• The weight of the kettlebell in the forward position will further activate your anterior core enhancing lower back stability and strength
• With a slight knee bend, drive your hips back. This will bring your chest down.
• At the bottom of the movement, your torso posture should be slightly above parallel
• Drive your Hips Forward to return to the starting position
