1, 2, 3 Get Loose
December 1, 2009 by admin
As a follow up to last week’s video on making the most out of your kettlebell windmills, here’s another tip that will help to make your kettlebell windmills much more effective in your kettlebell training.
For your foot placement, imagine that your heals are connected the ground so they become your pivot point. You want to ensure that your heals are also in line with each other you don’t want them to be in a stagger stance.
From here, you’ll apply the wall drill by keeping your leg vertical and perpendicular to the ground as well as with the arm that remains overhead. These are the pillars of your kettlebell windmill and need to remain sturdy throughout the entire movement.
We’ve got one last quick at home home workout that will leave you feeling really good about the time you spent training…
Kettlebell High Pulls 10 x 10
T Stabilization Rotations 10 x 10
Contra Lateral Push Ups 10 x 5
Hi Pam,
What are the T Stabilizaton & Contra Lateral Push Ups in the at home workout at the end of the 1,2,3, Get Loose Windmill video series?
Thanks, Lance
What are the T Stabilizaton & Contra Lateral Push Ups?
T-Stabilization Push Ups = perform a push up then reach your right hand up to the sky pivoting on your feet, return your hand back to the floor, do another push up then reach your left hand up to the sky and pivot on your feet. It helps to take a wider stance with your feet.
Contralateral Push Ups = perform a push up then have your left elbow and your right knee meet, return your hand and foot back to the floor, do a push up then have your right elbow and your left knee meet in the center.
Pamela;
On your rep and set counts is reps then sets or set then reps.
ie
Contra Lateral Push Ups 10 x 5 means ten sets of 5 or is it 5 sets of 10?
50 total? Or 50 per side?
Sorry for the newb questions…I’m not worthy, but I’m working on it :^)
