I chose this video because I've recently become interested in the benefits of kettle bell swing training. I like this particular video because one of my favorite baseball players, Jimmy Rollins, a shortstop for the Philadelphia Phillies is the athlete doing the exercise. He performs a two handed grip kettle bell swing variation from side to side with proper form and technique. I learned through some podcasts this week that many athletes are beginning to incorporate kettle bell swing training into their workouts because it's a very effective exercise for cardiovascular and muscle strengthening endurance.
cool vid Brian. i like the strength/cardio work out together. i can visualize ways of constructing a two hand swinging object out of found/repurposed materials.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracy. I tried your advice of using other materials to do the movements. A medicine ball and rubber ball are good adaptations for students and adults who might not feel comfortable using the kettle bell.
