Good Football Exercises

Being a muscle and conditioning specialist and previous assistant at the University of Georgia I can tell you that kettle bell strength training is where its at when it comes down to the bottom line. Check out the following 3 kettle bell lifts that should be a necessity in your strength course!

1. The Kettle bell Swing: This is the base strength endurance lift that is ideal for overall conditioning and building incredible core strength. This lift is done by you swinging the bell starting between your legs up to chest level. The drawing motion of swinging the iron bell incorporates hundreds of muscles and challenges your cardiovascular system more than anything you have attempted with in other form of weightlifting.

You should perform a hip snap action by flexing and extending at both your hips and knees in a constant and flowing action in order to create the necessary momentum to perform this lift. This hip drive is needed for the sport of football!

2. The Single Arm Overhead Kettle bell Snatch: This specific lift is gruesome in it’s concentration! This is probably at the top of the lifts for maximum kettle bell exercises. This lift is executed by correctly doing an explosive hip snap action once again. But, you are only lifting the kettle bell with one arm and allowing the bell to vertically fly up in front of your body by pulling your elbow high and lateral to your head. The moment it arrives at this high point laterally to your head then you complete the snatch by punching your palm to the heaven shutting out both your elbow and shoulder into place. This specific lift is marvellous for developing explosive leg power, core strength, and shoulder stability!

3. The Kettle bell Front Squat: For this kettle bell drill you can utilize one bell or two bells of the same weight. Starting from the floor between your legs simply clean the kettle bells to your chest. Ensure that your squat stance is firm and stable. From here simple do a front squat going down until your elbows touch your knees. This is how you know you have good depth in the squat. Ensure that you include all three of these lifts into your kettle bell workout routines for maximum fitness and athletic presentation. Train hard and enjoy my friend!
