The Windmill

Posted In Proper Exercise Form | 6 comments

I’m about to leave to get on the road to New York right now, so just quickly….

One of the best kettlebell exercises that combines -

1. Hip Mobility

2. Abdominal and Spine Stability

3. Hamstring Flexibility

and

4. Shoulder Stability

is the kettlebell windmill.  

Check out the video below to see how to perform this highly effective exercise…

I’ll have some video from NYC in the next couple of days so stay tuned!

    Hi Chris, I was wondering if you would get bruises on your hands if you’re not used to handling a kettlebell. I’ve been cleaning like how the book Enter The Kettlebell tells me to and the kettlebell no longer bangs my wrists and I don’t feel pain when doing the cleans, but as I only train with them once a month or so, I get bruises on my hands the day after. Would that be due to the lack of seasoning of the wrists to impact, even if it’s low impact? Thanks in advance.

    Hi Chris,
    Bought your KB course and have reached the first advanced stage – these new exercises are KILLING me!! Thanks for the demo of the windmill, I was just so unstable with the repetitions, will take a look at this video and see if I can get better form.
    The one-armed snatch was smashing my fore-arms until I googled a video of it (you mention punching through, but I needed a video to see what this really meant)
    Turkish get ups are tough as hell! A lot of these keep-the-KB-above-your-head-while-you-do-stuff exercises are draining; maybe it is just a case of getting a lighter kettlebell until I work them out? Or is there an exercise I can do to help me to keep the bell up there and stable?
    Thanks for the videos

    Actually both feet should be pointing at 45 degrees.
