KETTLEBELL WINDMILL
.
WHAT IS IT: an advanced full-body Kettlebell movement that requires a combination of MOBILITY and STABILITY (aka a physical therapist’s dream 🤪).
.
WHAT IT REQUIRES:
1. Overhead mobility & stability
2. Hamstring and hip flexibility
3. Core strength
4. Good motor coordination
.
WHY I LOVE IT:
1. Excellent stabilization exercise
2. Functional assessment of overhead mobility and stability
3. Rotational core strengthening exercise
4. Activates the glutes & hammies 🔥
5. Injury prevention ✅
.
MOVEMENT CUES:
1. Feet wider than shoulder width (up to 2x shoulder width may be helpful if hammies tight)
2. Point both feet 45 degrees AWAY from arm you are using overhead
3. Push the back hip out to load it
4. Keep gaze on top hand throughout the movement
5. Keep both knees straight as you lower bottom hand to ground
6. Squeeze your booty to stand up
