Where should you start?

Lots of times folks are wondering what kettlebell weights to start with.

Lots of times we’re suggested weights that make us feel unsure or even unsafe.

First off, every body is so different and everybody’s injury history (or lack there of) is so specific.

The thing to remember when using kettlebells is that the entire practice is supposed to be progressive, meaning you should steadily feel more comfortable working with heavier weights.

So, my suggestion is to choose 2-3 weights. The first one should feel “low risk” but should be heavy enough to provide some feedback.

It should also be proposed with the task of preparing you for the next weight up.

Think of it like learning to drive - first in the parking lot, then on the main roads, then on the highways.

Progression should always feel safe and reasonable.

If it doesn’t then keep practicing.

“Perfect” Movement + Greater Intensity = Moving More Weight!

When it comes to explosive weight lifting movements and increasing loads success is dependent largely on consistency of the action.

This is the same with kettlebells as it is with barbells and dumbbells.

If you wish to feel safer moving heavier weights then focus on “perfecting” your technique!

Want to get your body ready for activity?

Try including a simple joint mobility routine!

This is a short routine that I like to include at NCK - it acts as both a warm up and a physical assessment.

Mainly, it gives me a chance to see how my body is working before getting into a lifting session but also to activate my body before the session starts.

Try it out before your next lifting session!
