Improving Total Body Strength With The Kettle Bell Turkish Get-Up!

Posted by Scott Thom in Kettlebell Training on May 23rd, 2009

A great exercise that works you from your toes to your nose!!!!! Start off using a tennis shoe and once you can balance that throughout the exercise then move onto a light kettle bell. Break the exercise into steps:
-Roll to punch, whatever arm is in punch position that leg is bent.
-Raise to elbow.
-To hand.
-To plank.
-To sweeping leg through (looking straight ahead).
-To stand.

Coming down a key movement is to stick (kettle bell side) hip out, which will bring the ground to you. Then you just go to hand, elbow, and to starting position punch. Create a great day!!!! -Coach T

Posted by Scott Thom in Basketball Specific Exercises, Kettlebell Training on April 16th, 2009

Kettle Bells are great pieces of equipment and can be used for many purposes. Here are 5 exercises that will increase your power for hoops! Do two sets of 8-12 repetitions, really focus on tightening your core (imagining someone is going to punch you in the stomach!), also focus on pushing off your feet with every repetition, imagine your feet putting holes in the gym floor with your power!!!
