Used by Russian power lifter for decades, these types of combined movement patterns combust calories and build strength at the same time. The results of this reactive style of training are enhanced core engagement, joint stability and firmly sculpted muscles.This program is designed specifically to improve general fitness conditioning and add a new variable in resistance training with contemporary modifications to traditional ‘power’ techniques. With an emphasis on ‘neutral spine’ (head, neck, chest and spine in line), a tight stable core, and attention paid to proper joint extension, Gin recommends the use of light to moderate kettlebells for this particular workout.As with any new program or training mode, it is important to view the safety guidelines and watch the workout in its entirety prior to attempting these exercises. Anyone considering this type of training – including but not limited to pregnant women and especially those with a history of back, hip, spine, or any other joint issues – should consult with their health care provider to determine if this program or training is appropriate for their fitness goals.A well-cued program that focuses on the kettlebell’s unique challenge — you have to control its swinging motion (unlike a dumbbell where you have a fixed grip on the handle). Accelerating and decelerating the bell’s momentum engages your core, strengthens your muscles and improves your balance. The workout has three levels. The first section demonstrates the basics; it’s designed to get you comfortable with the bell as you practice the fundamentals. The next two segments boost the variety and intensity. They include torso twists and rear lunges, plus “reach and throws,” “figure 8 arms” and “wood chops.” Detailed cuing with on-screen insets that show options and angles.
