kettlebells – figure eights
Yeah, it’s a different day. See, I have a different hat on and everything. Course, it’s an entirely different day. And it’s not the same background. Those are different trees.
Anyway, so we’ve learned the swing. We’ve learned the pushup swing. Now we’re gonna learn more simple but really effective techniques that you can use with a kettlebell without a lot of skill. Now, getting into a squatting position, picking up your bell and doing a figure eight ;this doesn’t look like much, but let me tell you, boys and girls, that’s a bad mamma-jamma move. Right there. All right?
You sit back, not down. Back. Just like that- not down. Back. You pass it from the front to the back. If you pass it from the back to the front, you’ll give yourself your own proctology exam. You might replace a knee that you never thought you needed. And crazy things will come out of your mouth, like spit and blood. Don’t do that. Forward, forward. Boom. Okay? And then we’re gonna add a little undulation to it. So make sure you get me all the way in there, Mr. Cameraman.
You know, today on the camera is a very special guest, kids. So rare to get her out of her comfort zone. Julie Andrews, ladies and gentlemen [clapping]. Julie Andrews. Hi, Bruce. Show Bruce. That’s Bruce over there. Bruce is our studio audience. Yup. That’s it; sad but true.
All right. Figure eight, watch. Start it, back, back. I’m sitting down. So I’ll turn to this side. You can see that I’m back on my heels. Quads are really taking the beating here; so’s the core. Taking one for the core. Staying in that position, unbelievable quadricep, buttocks, abs, lower back. Let’s step back. Watch; were gonna add one more thing to this. We’re gonna go up and down with the move. Ready? Down, up, down, up, down, up, down, up. Creating that dynamic is like squatting. Now we’ve got a squatting, strength move.
All right. We’ll see you later.
