Such a great instructor! This has cleared up the warmups in my mind. I find reading S&S a bit tricky, but this was really useful and informative. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing. I'm a beginner and this was helpful and motivating!

[@ZackHenderson]

I'm glad. All the best in your training!

[@MeG4tRoNx]

The woman to the left of the instructor is strong as hell!

[@AlexanderClark-zv9ne]

It’s exactly as expected, a 30lb kettlebell. This is straight from the box, no issue with appearance and no problem with the grip. Good buy for the price.

[@duncanemery4303]

thats 1 good instructor

[@ZackHenderson]

Thanks Duncan!

[@medocin2338]

He reminds me of John Mulaney! Thanks for this, its really informative :)

[@ZackHenderson]

Hahahaha Now where's my Annamarie?

[@MaliYojez]

Excellent video, thank you. One question though, please. Considering weights are involved, is this the kind of warmup that someone can jump out of bed and do, or should they do stretching to warmup first?

[@alexanderthegrape5370]

Dude thank you so much!! now I really understand what the SS book is explaining lol

[@ZackHenderson]

Happy to help! All the best in your training!

Just started Kettlebells and I'm trying to do the Simple and sinister routine. I'm male so I bought the recommended 35 pound kettlebell. As part of the warmup, I have to do the Halo things. I can't do it with my 35 pound kettlebell right now. Its too heavy and I think I'm messing up the form. I'm even struggling with the goblet squat. I'm curious if I should try something else as warm up or if I should invest in a lighter weight just for the warmups? What do you guys think?

[@ZackHenderson]

Definitely get a lighter bell. 8 or 12 kg should do it.

[@DaveM86]

How long, approximately, does this warm-up take when performed in the course of an actual workout? (Trying to budget time and I have a very limited window to work with.) Edit - thanks for the great video content.

[@dionisioramirez6706]

5-6 minutes

[@lukecarniglia4724]

Do your arms lift or assist in the swing upwards/downwards in any way? Thanks.

[@octavioguerrero1424]

check out pavel tsatsouline's "enter the kettlebell" video. he's the master who introduced the KB to the states. But to answer your question, your arms are used to guide the weight upward and downward. Lats are firing, core is active, glutes are engaged. Everything (force, power,) is coming from the hips

[@anthonywhitlock9222]

How many rounds of this should you shoot for when warming up?

[@fins400]

Book says “perform the above three drills in the specified order for three circuits before your kettlebell training”

[@iforc]

Level method, crossfit and strong first? Nice… 😏🤓

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Looks like a kettlebell won against you man :)

[@dannylampron9879]

6:15 how not to put your kettlebell on the ground...

[@rollrabs]

I had to skip forward to find the actual exercises but when I did I just landed on him talking. So much talking! And he's not a great talker. Im sure he has some sort certification but he really really sounds like he making shit up on the fly. I would ask for my money back I was in that class
