Hello everyone. Hope you are training with integrity, grace, and a bit of humility. I am just finishing up my training for RKC Level 2 and Dan John is so correct that the training “is about the journey, not the destination”. I have learned so much about myself and how to not only properly train myself, but others to achieve their health and fitness goals.
I want to review to you an extremely valuable DVD and tool called Kettlebells from the Ground Up 2-Advanced Corrections. This DVD was performed by Brett Jones, Dr. Mark Cheng, and Jeff O’Connor. This is a step in the progression from the Kalos Sthenos 1 DVD set performed by Brett Jones and Gray Cook.
In the Kalos Sthenos 1 DVD and video progression, in my mind, it went on the progression of using the Turkish Get Up as a very valuable evaluation tool toward asymmetry and how to work on each specific step of the Turkish Get Up towards the goal of fluidity and balance. Also included in the KS1 DVD are very valuable information and drills that I have personally seen do wonders for Shoulder Mobility & Stability as well as Rotary Stability. It is a great way to use kettlebells to help clean up movement patterns.
The Kalos Sthenos 2 DVD takes the Turkish Get Up to another level. It very nicely reviews the Turkish Get Up and involves some more progressions to help open up the shoulder (mobility). What is the gem of the KS2 DVD is the Active Straight Leg Raise progressions/Hip Mobility drills. These set drills do a fantastic job of working on the FMS Active Straight Leg Raise and Rotary Stability movements.
The small drills alone I have seen with my own eyes do wonders on improving hip mobility, ankle mobility, as well as making a huge impact on clients ASLR and RS scores. Plus it is a type of Reactive Neuromuscular Training needed to help improvements to stick.
In my professional recommendation, I HIGHLY suggest that you purchase this video as it will do wonders for your patients and clients with kettlebell experience. The drills in here can be done in a personal training format, in a class/team type setting as a warm up/cool down or FMS break, and also as something that the client or patient can be sent home with to do daily if they have kettlebells at home. It will make a DIRECT impact on your clients and how efficiently they move.
Right now you can purchase your own copy at Perform Better.
