Great video. I appreciate the science and your depth of understanding. I do an assorted array of kettlebell exercises but the one I find the least effective is the swing. I must be doing it wrong. Could you explain what muscle groups should be used or purposely constricted during the swing movement? I do a one-arm farmer's walk and concentrate on my posture followed by a one-arm brief-case squat (same arm used in the farmer's walk. The combination works well for me and I feel it. I can go heavy or light on the swing and not feel exerted at all.

-By functional I mean you can comfortably swing or carry it --bestgym. equipment-- around as one would expect of a kettlebell weight. By versatile I mean the protective coating does not prevent attaching magnetic micro-plates to increase the weight, so, for example, a 35 pound kettlebell can be increased by up to 5 pounds in weight or possibly a bit more by attaching magnetic micro-plates. -

I am in my mid 60s and am really getting into KBs. I really dig these, even better then DBs. I love following online KB videos and doing full boy workouts. I find as I get older, this is so much better and my body really responds much better to all the movements. Also adding body weight movements in along side of them is very cool too like pushups, burpees, etc.

2. 5 months in. down 30lbs, twice the endurance I started with most lifts, tripled my farmers walk distance with 2x 12kg from 1 mile to 3 miles. Now, I'm doing these interval farmers walks. farmers walk like. 25 miles then do 5 snatches, 5 clean and jerks, 5 squats, 5 rows each arm, then farmers walk another. 25 miles and repeat. Almost ready to bump things up a notch.

I noticed you wear an Apple Watch while using the KB. Do you switch the watch from arm to arm when you switch out the side you are training on? Or how do you manage wearing the Apple Watch while training. Obviously double KB training isn-t possible with the Apple Watch. I would assume it can increase risk of Apple Watch damage! Thoughts?

brilliant video. been doing it off and on for nearly a decade, but moreso now since I've been working from home.
came from the 'sport' variety but changed over to the hardstyle with 36kg cleans and wings, 32kg presses, and 28kg snatches etc. but going to mix it up with some high rep 5-10 minute rounds again using my 24kg: )

Thanks for the science overview! Getting back into strength training with a focus on core strength, Weightloss and general cardio aerobic fitness. Think I-m going to use kettle bells for the first three months of rebuilding my base and user heart rate monitor to stay in zone two.

Love your content! How do you help clients learn the hip hinge movement? I saw you mentioned placing the kettlebell between your legs towards your heels, but I have many clients who just bend at the waist or squat instead of hinge. Any other cues would be appreciated! Thanks -

I started a class 3-4x a week 2 weeks ago and I am so glad I found it. I just turned 37 and have a lot of weight to lose but i won-t push myself enough at the gym alone so it-s great to have someone point out my form and show me new moves.
