246/365 Kettlebell Toss for Hamstrings

Friends and Fitness Enthusiasts,

Kettlebells are a super fun way to switch up your free weight routine. Since kettlebells are weighted on one side with the handle on the other, you lengthen your lever (your arm) to make exercises a little more challenging. Plus, kettlebell moves often involve you throwing the weight or gripping it in a way you can't easily do with dumbbells. Here is a fun exercise for your hamstrings, core, shoulders, and eye-hand coordination.



I tried drawing a paint image of it but, it just wasn't working out. Basically, you want to make sure the power is coming from your hips, your arms are doing minimal work but they are still obviously involved with the move. Keep your core tight while doing this move to maintain balance and control of your center. To skip his instruction (quite helpful for all the pointers on alignment and how the motion works), fast forward to 1:58.

In health,
