Additional Safety Considerations and Recommendations

Due to the dynamic nature of these movements,  pre-conditioning with a strong foundation in strength and core stability is  required prior to attempting this workout.

This program is designed for general fitness conditioning  with light to moderate weight kettlebells. Pregnant women and people with a  history of back, neck, spine or any joint issues, are strongly advised to seek  medical counsel prior to attempting any of these exercises.

This workout must be watched in its entirety and practiced  at least once without a kettlebell to get a feel for the demand of these  integrated, dynamic movements and the potential challenge in balance and  reactive training.

Neutral Spine

Maintain neutral spine throughout the movements – head,  neck, chest and spine in proper alignment.   Avoid rounding the back, or excessive flexion / extension of the neck  which may cause compression of the cervical disks.  Rounding of the back can be avoided by  maintaining a controlled retraction of the shoulder blades – setting them back  and down – along with a co-contraction of all the muscles of the core to  maintain spinal stability.

Modified Grip

The grip Gin utilizes in the kettlebell swing is modified to  externally rotate the palms (thumbs up) to avoid shoulder impingement.  Whatever grip you choose, it should be firm,  but not excessively tight to avoid fatigue in the forearms.  Wrists should be maintained as a neutral  extension of the forearm and weight should be controlled throughout the range  of motion – particularly at the top of the movement.

Weak Links

As with all integrated exercises, but particularly when  adding momentum in reactive strength training, it is important to closely  monitor and defer to any “weak links” in the sequential chain of  muscle firing – not just the primary “movers” but also the important  secondary “stabilizers”.
