Be like Mike 👇🏼

“I have always wanted to get fit but previous Gym experiences had put me off to many meatheads and wannabe's.

Jason is different and provides not only a workout, but coaching and support, so you understand not only how to do a movement correctly; but also why it is done that way.

This has been a fantastic experience that has not only helped me change my body but also change how I think of things such as fitness.

For me this has opened a new world of possibilities that I didn't think were possible before, all thanks to Jason's support and guidance."

I was going over some technique work with one of my online students and this question popped up during our chat.

How to clean a kettlebell without banging your wrist and perform this movement effectively? 🤔

I 🧡 questions like this.

So I decided to demonstrate in this video a few pointers that I have been teaching for quite some time.

When performing the kettlebell clean it’s important for the KB to land smoothly and without it banging into the rack position.

So here are some key things to consider.

✅ Think about getting enough back swing so there is enough force coming from the hips on the upward phase.

✅ Make sure the KB travels the shortest distance possible into the rack position. This is also important when going into the back swing again so try not to project the KB out too far.

✅ Practice with a light weight then progress to a heavier weight when you’re comfortable.

✅ Practicing a good Clean will help with other KB movements like the Press so keep practicing.

Enjoy the 🎥 and when you finish watching, please leave a comment below to let me know what you think.

One of my favourite things as a personal trainer and online coach is getting creative when designing my clients programs 🧑‍🎨🎨. Not just with my in-studio clients where I have the advantage of having access to lots of strength tools at hand. But also with my growing list of clients who are enjoying the benefits of working out in the comfort and privacy of their own homes using the easy to use PTW APP for their home training programs.

So if you think you need access to lots of fitness equipment at home to achieve maximum results, think again 🥳. This is why I have been using my tool of choice, the kettlebell for over 17 years and invested in the best education using this diverse tool.

So if like many of my remote coaching clients, you have one kettlebell at home, why not give this example of one of my many fun, yet effective workouts a try?

Workout:

A1. Alternating Halos x 10 (5 Reps each Side)
A2. Press - Squat - Curl Combo x 10 Reps
A3. Thruster x 5 Reps each side
A4. Alternating Sn**ch x 10 (5 Reps each side)

5 Rounds

Not sure how to perform these exercises?

Well worry not, help is at hand 🙌👊

Check out my latest video 🎥 where I show you how to perform this workout ⬇️⬇️

Not got a kettlebell? No problem, you can use a dumbbell 😄

I love getting messages like this 👇🏼

"The PTW app has been a fantastic tool to support my training through lockdown - Jason can schedule workouts in the calendar that fits around me.

I always struggle with the proper names of the activities, so the “how to” videos attached to each exercise are invaluable and allow me to try new things at home too.

The instant message facility allows me to feedback to Jason in real time, and adjust my workouts accordingly.

Post lockdown, I can already see this app supporting my training in between the in-person sessions."
- Chris Lowry

If like Chris you are ready to try the new PTW App to help you burn off some of those extra Lockdown Calories then please give me a shout I’m here to help 🙌🏼

Good luck to those taking part in the 100 Kettlebell Swings Everyday Challenge throughout March.

Here is a video I did a few years back going over some technique points on the swing.

“The kettlebell swing carries many benefits like strengthening your lower back, hips and grip. I have put together this short tutorial video for the guys at ...

Jason's Suggestions For The Best Challenge Experience:

✅ Drink 2 litres of water a day - hydration is important 💦

✅ Get out for a walk every day. I like to have my walk first thing in the morning

✅ Comment "done" once you have completed your 100 Swings for the day

✅ Like and share this page to help spread the love

WARM-UP:

Before you begin any type of exercise it is important to always perform a warm up. Your kettlebell challenge warm up exercises do not need to be complicated which is why I like to start my workouts with some light mobility drills such as arm and hip circles to get your body prepared.

Most of us have poor upper back mobility and tight hips due to extensive periods of sitting and general lack of movement during lockdown.

Poor upper back mobility results in an overuse of the shoulders, neck and lower back when performing exercises such as the kettlebell swing.

Whilst limited movement in the hips will cause excessive movement at the lower back usually resulting in back issues.

My solution? Practice the hinge pattern or the stick drill I posted here.

Then Perform KB Deadlifts to grease the groove.

Ok, let's get into the Challenge itself...

WORKOUT: 10 Rounds

1️⃣ Perform 10 kettlebell swings then put down the kettlebell (if you feel your KB is too light and not challenging you enough, perform 1 hand swings instead of 2 handed swings)

2️⃣ Then perform 10 reps of a bodyweight exercise (e.g. bodyweight squats, press ups, jumping up and down, a yoga movement like cat-cow, or if you are feeling brave, try 10 burpees 😱)

3️⃣ Rest accordingly and repeat for a total of 10 Rounds in total 💪

If you are hard core and want to make this Challenge even more challenging, you can look to use a heavier KB if you have one.

Or alternatively adjust the reps from 10 swings to 15 or 20 at a time and choose a more challenging bodyweight movement (such as pausing for 3 seconds at the bottom of your squats or press ups)

💥Introducing PTW’s Online Coaching Challenge for March… 100 Kettlebell Swings Everyday Challenge💥

This is a challenge I have set up for anyone who is tired of lockdown and wants to get out of a rut, or wishes to add an extra training routine to their existing training.

You can be on a good run or you could be wanting to build up a healthy habit daily to slowly become healthier and fitter.

Why kettlebell swings? Because you can perform this movement anywhere and anytime you like and there will be less excuses to bail out.

And, I don’t think you can really find an exercise that can beat kettlebell swings in terms of all-in-one muscular, cardiovascular and endurance conditioning.

Plus, it works your legs and improve posture and core strength. It's a winner. So why not join me and the rest of my clients this month? Use us as your accountability buddies to keep you on track. It's easier to achieve success when you know you are not alone and someone else is doing it with you.

Furthermore, you will also be guided on where to start even if you have no idea how to swing. You just have to go buy your own kettlebells and follow the guide I will put up here in a future post.
