The Golden One - Kettlebell Training – Physique Manufactorum

In this episode I do a warm up exercise with a kettlebell as a warm-up exercise. This is an easy and quick exercise you can do on a nice summer day if you don't have access to a gym. As an accessory, the kettlebell is a great piece of equipment and can be used as a replacement for a good old compound exercise in the gym.

00:00:00.000 We're back! The Physique Manufactorium. I'm checking in from Lothlorien with a kettlebell

00:00:05.800 session. A quick and easy one. So I will just guide you through my movements here. So now I am

00:00:11.900 simply warming up. You can do this as your main exercise as well, but I usually do this as a

00:00:17.380 warm-up. So just swinging it, swinging the body into action. And I'm using a 32 kilo, that is

00:00:25.200 roughly 70 pound kettlebell. So now I'm doing my first real set here. So you see that I am

00:00:31.880 switching hand and I'm trying to get a nice deep range of motion, a full range of motion. So I'm

00:00:37.680 trying to activate my legs as well. So I do try to make it into a full body exercise. Now of course

00:00:43.360 this does not, it can never replace the gym. It can never replace the heavy compound movements in the

00:00:49.740 gym, but as an exercise you can do like this on a nice summer's day. If you don't have access to a

00:00:56.460 gym, it's a very good piece of equipment, the kettlebell. So I use it as an accessory.

00:01:04.860 So yeah, that was the first set. And there you see I'm pointing at my nose to indicate that you should

00:01:10.360 breathe through your nose and not your mouth. You should only breathe through your mouth if you

00:01:15.500 absolutely have to. So now you see it from the back there. And you can see that I'm engaging

00:01:21.500 my legs as much as possible. And I do this by taking the kettlebell as close to the ground as

00:01:27.980 possible. So I'm really activating my legs and hip there as well. I'm pushing through,

00:01:33.100 pushing forward with my hip. And then of course you can see I'm trying to have a nice back position

00:01:40.460 there as well. Boom. Absolutely aesthetic. Look at that. Aesthetic physique if I may be so bold.

00:01:51.100 So now we're doing it from the front to show a different angle. So you can see there it's good

00:01:56.140 for the forearms as well. I'm gripping it, gripping the kettlebell tightly. So of course I have a good

00:02:02.380 control of it. And perhaps you can see from this angle as well that I am training my legs. Of course not

00:02:08.860 in the same way as a good old squat would do. But still you get some nice leg training and you get to

00:02:14.380 train your hip drive there as well. Which is good for all manner of things. So that is at least what

00:02:21.100 I'm doing usually with my kettlebell when I'm not training in the gym. So good stuff, good stuff.

00:02:28.300 Then lastly of course you might wonder what sort of garments I wear in this fine video. New releases

00:02:33.660 from Legio Gloria. You can see they're absolutely aesthetic as well. The oracle guard sleeveless

00:02:39.740 hoodie and the Salmoxis gym shorts. So two great new garments made of cotton made in Poland. Proudly

00:02:48.220 made in Poland. So check it out. First link in the description box below. Now thank you for your

00:02:53.420 support and thank you for watching. XOXO. Boo!
