Been doing kettlebell and mobility workouts since the start of the morning month. Noticing differences already. My shoulders seem to be kicking ch happier as well

Awesome!! Keep it up!! I’ve gone back to calisthenics after a back injury kept nagging me and kettlebells will be the next addition once the mobility has helped me recover
I need to look into that too. My back and shoulders and knees are wrecked from my younger days. I start working out and then back and especially left shoulder just gets angry. Been working on core with the mobility and with the KB this has been great. I'll probably push it too far though lol. The KB I have is only 25lb so it keeps me from being too stupid for the most part
Same 😆 left shoulder, right knee, lower back & both hips… then I made a firm decision last year to commit to mobility and the left shoulder now has zero pain and full mobility, right knee now pain free with the exception of extended incline/climbing and I’m hoping that will be resolved in another 6 months, and hips are feeling great… lower back I targeted specifically with a program called LowBackAbility (just $5/month it’d pay what you want). I’ve been doing KinStretch (pricy at $45/month) and can’t believe the results myself.
Smart to stay with the 25lb!! I can’t even trust myself with a weight yet 😆 I’m too stupid to not push too hard too fast so I’m learning to push myself without using more weight as the default… but of course I will fuck it up when I do 😂 just hoping to build resiliency first so I can minimize the damage 😅
KBs are so versatile
I've had one for years and just never really used it. I've been trying to work on mobility exercises for my shoulders and back and knees. Then started to see combos with KB to improve both. It has been kicking the crap out of me. My workout times have gotten shorter and I feel much different after them. I'm really enjoying this
They can also be used to increase joint stability as well as improve conditioning. I am a huge fan of KB training and hope that you continue on the path.
Thanks I hope so too. Maybe by not being dumb and hurting myself I can get a solid routine going. I'm forcing myself to work out even if tired from work
I like to do a small amount of work every day that I never miss that is a minimum effective dose. The key is to build up volume over time and you can’t do that if you overdo it and cause an injury. I’m hoping you can find a small routine that takes about 10 minutes that you never miss. Once you have that locked in you can just keep building on it and avoid injury. I am rooting for you.
