Kettlebell 101

April 1, 2020 by admin

Here are some quick cues and positioning reminders for common movements done with a Kettlebell. As always, with Hardstyle Kettlebell training, form and positioning is a priority. If your form breaks down switch to a lighter bell or do less reps as needed. Focus on making your next rep better and the last rep the best one for that training session. Strength develops quickly with consistent proper neural connections.
