RichRuff Training Exercise of the Week: Kettlebell Windmill

I use this exercise to serve three main purposes:

1. Core conditioning
2. Shoulder stabilization
3. Posterior chain strengthening

If you don't have a kettlebell lying around, no worries. Just use a dumbbell.



A couple of key points to think to remember with this exercise:

1. Keep a slight flex in the knee of the front leg and think about pushing your hips back in order to engage your glutes and hamstrings.
2. Keep the arm holding the kettlebell as straight as possible. Your arms should form a pillar like position in the bottom position.
3. Keep your eyes focused on the weight
