Kettlebell Strength Day

Here’s Tuesdays kettlebell strength session…

Actually this will also include some body weight strength movements as well.

All great training sessions should include the following components to keep the body balanced out.

  • Hinge movement ( eg. swing, clean deadlift)
  • upper body push (eg. overhead press, push up)
  • Lower body push (squat, split squat)
  • upper body pull (pull up, row)
  • core stabilization (plank, side plank)

The following workout has all the above components of a great training session.
