Kettlebell Beginner

Are you a kettlebell beginner? Because before we get started with any kettlebell juggling I need to talk about one thing: your kettlebell swing.

You see, ALL kettlebell juggling has its foundation in the basic swing movement. Even the more complex moves, going to the sides, etc. is all moved by the hips and the rest of the body. The arms and hands are just used to guide the bell where you want it to go.

If your swing is not great, you really shouldn’t begin juggling kettlebells. I choose not to cover this basic move in my DVD’s because so many other products do. And they do it well. Make no mistake about it The Definitive Guide to Kettlebell Juggling is not for kettlebell beginners. You should have at least a couple months experience under your belt before starting juggling.

If you don’t have much experience with kettlebells I recommend you start with Pavel’s Enter the Kettlebell. Both the book and DVD are great though I’d get the DVD if nothing else so you can really learn,understand and practice this move.

I can’t be strong enough on this point. You must have a good swing BEFORE you begin juggling kettlebells. Because of the nature of the dynamic moves you don’t want to have to worry about your form. It should be automatic.

You can get started with Enter the Kettlebell, any other number of great kettlebell produtcs, or best of all, seek out a qualified instructor in your area and they’ll have you swinging like a pro in not time.

Secondly, I want to address the kettlebells themselves.

If you’re interested in kettlebell juggling you probably already own a few kettlebells. Whatever you have is great and will work. But if you don’t and what to find out which kettlebells I recommend most for juggling click on the ‘Get Kettlebells‘ page.

Alright, that’s enough for today. In the next post we will really begin, starting with your first flip…

In strength,
Logan Christopher
