Last week I got the chance to try out my new kettle bells (from Powerhouse Fitness) with one of my clients. So far so good – she uses a kettle bell at home but said these are an easier grip as the handle is that bit wider. We tried out some one-handed moves (as she’s used to the classic swings) and they really are just an easier grip than either of us have used before.
Try this: backward lunges, each time passing a lighter kettle bell underneath your front, bent leg (from inside to outside of the leg). So if your right leg lunges back, the right hand passes the kettle bell under the bent leg to the left hand. Stand up again and repeat on the other side. Start with a lighter weight to get the knack and the rhythm before progressing. Always lunge backwards for this exercise.
