On Saturdays, I coach the 2 classes at my box; one at 9am and then another one at 10am. This was the fun partner WOD for today that they had to do 2 times:
Run 200 meters
50 thrusters
Run 200 meters
50 weighted sit-ups
Run 200 meters
50 ring rows
Run 200 meters
50 Kettlebell swings
I decided to do it myself after the 10am, but I definitely shouldn’t have worn my running sneakers for this!
Here’s part of the KB swings…
It’s still one of those movements that I need to coach my athletes on- they tend to lean forward too much. By having them engage their hips and really squeeze their butts at the top of the movement, they were able to improve the technique.
I love KB swings, don’t you?
Happy weekend!
Thanks for the KB swing tip – I tend to lean forward a bit too much too so that’s something I’ll be mindful of in the future 😉
Hi Emma! You want to think about generating force with your hips and quads, not your upper body. When you bring the kettlebell between your legs, it should only be slightly behind your body; when you lean forward a lot, the kettlebell would be way behind you, so you would want to avoid that…Thank you for reading!
